franchise, sales, and withholding taxes online?

The Treasurer of Ohio wanted to update a secure electronic payment system which had been created for Ohio businesses to make required tax payments online. The paper-based system was cumbersome and led to many calls to the Treasury Department's help line.


LimaCorp, LLC was challenged with creating an updated web-based registration system which would update the Treasury's production servers in real time, eliminating repetitive and error-prone data entry. It was also important that the process be self-explanatory and allow the users to easily find the answers to their questions.


By taking a user-centered approach, LimaCorp, LLC created a solution based on a step-by-step process which integrated supporting info at critical points. By re-organizing the information and integrating new features such as sample forms and answers to frequently asked questions, the user is guided through the registration in a logical process. By breaking down the information into steps, it has reduced unnecessary calls to the help desk.

Also, by using customized interfaces, the data entered online is updated on the Treasury production databases in real time. The whole process requires virtually no human intervention by the Treasury staff.

LimaCorp, LLC used the following:

  • User Interface development
  • SQL database technology
  • Web interface server
  • Open-source middleware


The Treasury Department has eliminated the paper transaction previously required and has seen a dramatic decrease in inquiries regarding how to use the payment system. This has saved countless hours of redundant data entry and phone support as well as minimizing mistakes in the application process.
