1 Problem Statement
City Clerk has a requirement to migrate from the City's Tax and Licensing System (TALIS) due to the Finance Department’s objective to retire TALIS by June 30, 2018. As a result, the City needs to select a solution for City Clerk to migrate to no later than July 1, 2018. City Clerk's use of the TALIS system for their liquor and regulated business licensing services has not and does not meet their current and desired future state business requirements. The following major business capabilities are desired in a future replacement.
2 Desired Future State

• Ability to fill out forms applicable to the licenses registering for, and to upload images and documents.
• Online payments
• Case Management for lifecycle management and oversight of licensees
• Business process management to automate workflow, reviews, and approvals
• Electronic digital signatures for licensees to sign forms
• Automated notification to internal staff and external licensees
• Reporting and analytics of licensee data
• Backend web services interface to integrate with other reporting tools and business systems
• Integration with existing GIS systems to map radius of liquor licenses, in reference to council districts and neighborhood groups
Eighty percent of Supervisor and Managers work effort is dedicated to validation and quality control. It is a paper based and very manual process.
