From Manual to Automated: Transforming the Alabama Department of Revenue’s Tax Form Process
Join us in S103 C | BR24 on Monday, August 5th at 4 PM CDT for HSO's session with the Alabama Department of Revenue.
In this session, we will explore how the Alabama Department of Revenue (ALDOR) transformed its tax form approval process from a manual, cumbersome system to an award-winning, streamlined, efficient, and standardized solution using automation tools. We will discuss the challenges faced by ALDOR, including inefficiencies, inconsistencies, and the burden of handling numerous tax forms required from vendors. We will then delve into the solutions implemented to overcome these challenges, such as transitioning manual and Excel-based processes to Microsoft Power Apps, implementing Microsoft Power Automate, Azure, and Encodian Flowr for barcode scanning and processing of tax form PDFs, and streamlining the management of vendor test templates and form submissions. Join us to learn about this exciting journey of transformation and the lessons learned along the way. This session will provide valuable insights for any municipality looking to streamline and automate their tax form processes.
