Honestly it depends on several factors.
The Software has a cost yet this is really only part of what it takes to really make the system work.
The crucial factors relate to data and the data available for your jurisdiction.
To create a really good base of data use able in Muni Vision takes time and effort.
Often much of this data is available from your GIS system if you have one.
In Piedmont we had no GIS when Bliss was first installed so Micro Services created a module which manages the City address base.

"AB 63, sponsored by the City of Los Angeles, would allow until December 31, 2008 the release of tax information by the Franchise Tax Board to local city tax officials. The information provided by the Board would include the taxpayer’s name, address, social security or taxpayer identification number, and business activity code. Tax information provided by the Board, could be used only by an employee of the taxing authority. The Board would recover the costs for providing this data from cities electing to use such data. "
If this data can only be accessed by agency employees then having the correct tools to achieve success is imperaitive.
Micro Services MuniVision tools are perfectly positioned to make a daunting task quite simple.

Micro Services can automate this process.

 "Like most new programs,
first-time users of the FTB data will find
some challenges. The cities finding the
greatest benefit from the FTB data are
those that have incorporated automated
cross-referencing, selective noticing,
business tax amnesty programs and city
council support. The behemoth Los Angeles
has booked over $45 million, while Newport Beach has
posted $1.8 million from the program so far."

Twenty years ago the state was short on revenues, passed a
tax amnesty program, and mandated cities report the businesses
they tax to the Franchise Tax Board. For fifteen
years, the FTB used city business tax data to identify thousands
of non-filers to the state and cities wondered when
they might receive FTB data in exchange for providing theirs.
It took fifteen years, but in 2000 an assemblyman from Los
Angeles, Gil Cedillo, authored Assembly Bill 63, creating the
first opportunity for cities to obtain FTB data for business tax
purposes. Like most new programs,
first-time users of the FTB data will find
some challenges. The cities finding the
greatest benefit from the FTB data are
those that have incorporated automated
cross-referencing, selective noticing,
business tax amnesty programs and city
council support. The behemoth Los Angeles
has booked over $45 million, while Newport Beach has
posted $1.8 million from the program so far. As it goes with
many new programs enacted by the legislature, AB 63 has a
sunset provision that repeals the program in 2008. SB
1374, as introduced by now-Senator Cedillo, would repeal
that sunset and also provide cities Employment Development Data.
