What does a future-proof, connected tax technology architecture look like, and more importantly, how do you get there?
As tax functions continue to digitalize, organizations are faced with an increasingly complex technology landscape. ERP systems, tax engines, e-invoicing solutions, compliance tools and data platforms all play a role, but making individual technology decisions is only part of the challenge. The real question is how these different components fit together and support the tax function’s broader objectives.
In this edition of our Tax Technology Bite, we will explore how to move from a target architecture, your “North Star”, to a practical roadmap for implementation. We will discuss the key building blocks of a best-practice tax technology architecture and bring them to life with practical examples.
In this 1-hour webcast, our specialists will discuss:
- What a future-proof tax technology architecture looks like, including the key building blocks and design principles.
- How architecture and design choices translate into technology decisions, and what this means for ERP systems, tax engines, e-invoicing, compliance solutions and data flows.
- How to move from your target architecture to an actionable roadmap, with clear priorities, dependencies and next steps.
Defining your North Star
A clear target architecture provides direction for technology decisions across the tax function. We will discuss the key principles and building blocks of a best-practice tax technology architecture, and how these can help create a more connected and future-proof tax technology landscape.
Translating architecture into technology choices
An architecture only becomes valuable when it guides real decisions. Using practical examples, we will show how architectural and design choices influence data flows, integrations and the role of different technologies. We will look at how solutions such as ERP, tax engines, e-invoicing and compliance tools can fit together within the wider tax technology landscape.
From architecture to roadmap
Knowing where you want to go is one thing, getting there is another. We will discuss how to translate your target architecture into a pragmatic roadmap: identifying priorities, understanding dependencies and determining logical next steps. The aim is not to transform everything at once, but to create a clear path from today’s technology landscape towards the desired future state.
