Taxation also maintains an integrated Tax Administration System known as STARS. Specifically, the STARS suite includes the core Oracle PSRM product and other peripheral components (i.e. EngageOne, FileNet, COGNOS, PeopleSoft, DataStage, IBM App connect). STARS is JAVA based with an Oracle Backend, running on WebSphere. In addition, the Department maintains an integrated Tax Administration System known as Tax Equalization.
