The City of Buenos Aires Tax Department had the challenge of unifying all existing tax systems by Individual accounts (or
CUIT in Argentina).
To achieve that we created a Services Platform over a Service-Oriented Architecture, along with a thin web client.
The services layer used Web Services to expose the underlying business logic, which was made up of pre-existing
COBOL programs. The web client we built was a thin layer that would only be responsible for presenting the results
in a clear and concise way.
The unified Tax Platform ended up being composed of a multitude of services covering hundreds of scenarios,
providing extremely valuable information to tax contributors. The platform is currently processing over 150k
transactions a day, with peaks of 50k per hour.
