The Captiva solution has been transformational for Minnesota Revenue, letting the agency expand its electronic processing of business and personal tax returns, voucher processing, and electronic and check payments

We believe we have established a blueprint for electronic tax return processing that other tax types and agencies can leverage, including revenue agencies in other states.
