Type and Scope of services to be performed:
Technology Services manages the FAST Enterprises’ contract on behalf of the City’s Treasury Division (Treasury). Treasury purchased FAST Enterprises’ “Gentax” tax collection software application, through an RFP process, to support the Department of Finance in 2009. Gentax is the system used to collect and record all excise tax for the City. These taxes amount to well over $800 million annually and are the primary source of operating revenue for the City. FAST Enterprises provides a “Managed Service” model for the City by providing full onsite support for the Gentax software.
Benefits of this software application include:
• Integrated tax software designed to support an agency implementing multiple taxes
• Adapts to diverse revenue agency requirements through configuration versus customization
• Able to make significant programming changes quickly and accurately in response to large community issues, policy issues, and voter issues. Examples:
o Preschool tax increase
o Tourism Improvement District tax
o Retail marijuana special sales tax rate
• On-site support provides timely and accurate service for all tax system related needs:
o Analysis
o Reports
o Provision of information for decision makers (City Council, Mayor’s Office, Budget Management Office)
• On-site support assists with cooperative efforts with the State of Colorado - Department of Revenue (which also has the Gentax system and on-site FAST support).
FAST support ensures reliable and timely upgrades. Treasury is committed to keeping the Gentax system up-to-date through every patch and update regardless of size. This ensures that the Gentax system will serve Denver for many years to come and produce tangible long-term savings by avoiding the costly undertaking of obtaining new systems in the future.
