82% of them did not havea Business license. Each one of the newly compliant represented a minimum of $200.00 income to the city treasury.

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.
