Applications built by HIC save our partners hundreds of thousands of dollars each year.  Our services allow them to avoid paying for data entry labor, paper, mail and postage costs.  These are the only costs factored into in our avoided costs estimates.  Portal services in 2014 resulted in avoided costs of over $5 Million.  All reports are as of Nov 20, 2014.  The numbers should increase by at least 8% by the end of the year.

Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs

Business Registration Division

Avoided costs are over $600,000 to date for 2014. Avoided costs include printing, postage, and data entry costs.  No IT-related costs are considered.

Department of Taxation

As a result of portal applications Tax has significantly decreased costs. Major areas of savings include: eFile and MeF Tax Returns, BB1 filings, UC-1 cashiering, and the tax license search. We do not include any IT-related costs, only other quantifiable costs associated with the handling of returns, printing, mail and data entry. In 2014, our free services saved the state over $3.5 million. With further engagement we estimate that it could be closer to $10 million.
