    SIGTAS MIGRATION Lelogix White


    Paper

    Upgrade SIGTAS to well Supported,


    Stable web based Platform

    Background
    Inland Revenue Department is the government agency of Belize that administers the tax laws in the federation of St. Kitts
    and Nevis. The agency employs the SIGTAS application, an Oracle based software package for their daily operations of
    registering tax payers, assessment and collection of taxes. Initially SIGTAS was built on Oracle Forms 6i and Reports 6i and
    Database was Oracle9i.

    Introduction
    As the communications, media and cloud markets are undergoing significant transformations to compete in the new
    technical environment, SIGTAS must also upgrade according to the current technology as oracle no longer supports the
    current platform 6g. New web based version 10g or later provides the complete end to-end solution for managing SIGTAS,
    supporting key business processes that incorporate generation, capture, collection, and assurance of revenue.
    The current version of SIGTAS is built on Oracle Forms 6i and Reports 6i which Oracle has stopped supporting and there is
    always a risk in having the core revenue system in a technology that is no longer supported by the vendor. Additionally IMF
    insists on having IRD to upgrade to Oracle forms and reports 10g or later so that it is better supportable by them in the future.
    Hence IRD is looking to upgrade the Oracle forms and reports to well supported stable version of Oracle forms and reports.
    The key business drivers are straight forward:
    ? De-supported by Oracle
    ? Take advantage of new features and web deployment
    ? Reduce the total cost of ownership

    KEY DRAWBACKS OF 6i OVERCOME IN 11G
    Below are few key points that overcome in 11g

    Manageability High: having distributed Low: having centralized repository and
    repository and require to create not require doing anything on user’s
    run-time environment on all end- system.

    Security Low: all end-user’s system require Very High: no direct network access
    direct network access of database require to end-user’s system for database
    server to connect the application server. Database server will be connected
    using connection string define in only from application server and all end-

    Local and Public (internet) network.

    Clustering Not Supported Supported: multiple physical servers can


    be maintained in cluster mode so that in
    case any one of them get crashed then
    accessibility of application cannot be
    impacted to users and application will
    remain available without any delay.
