The Government of Cantabria awards Izertis and CIC Consulting Informático the management of ACAT systems
The joint venture formed by our company and CIC Consulting Informático company will be in charge of technical assistance for the maintenance and evolution of the Information Systems and Infrastructure of the Cantabrian Tax Administration Agency ('ACAT' in spanish) from this month. The project comes at the same time of transformation for the agency, since a high percentage of procedures are seeing their administrative presentation modality accelerated, going from face-to-face registration to online in order to avoid contagion by Covid-19.
The contract awarded to both corporations as a public tender, includes the maintenance of the information systems of the Cantabrian Tax Administration Agency, in addition to supporting its technological architecture together with its information security systems and the general management of the service. The proposal presented by both companies includes the ‘generation of principles and good practices of realistic application’ with which it is intended to anticipate risks that could affect the development of the project or the quality of the software. Thanks to this methodology, 'ACAT' will be able to anticipate deviations, minimizing and eliminating possible project risks. The chosen technology will give continuity to the developments already implemented in the administration, among which are technologies such as Java, or Oracle.
The Cantabrian Tax Administration Agency is the autonomous entity that is in charge of the management, settlement, collection and inspection of all taxes and fees of the Autonomous Community of Cantabria, such as vehicle transfers, successions, or general tax transactions, among others.
The team formed by our firm and CIC Consulting Informático has started working on this service since March and will continue for two years with the option of renewal up to a maximum of four.
