Overview
Executive Overview
Revenue Solutions, Inc. (RSI) is a leading provider of specialized software and professional services designed exclusively for government tax and revenue agencies. Founded in 1996 and headquartered in Pembroke, Massachusetts, RSI has established a dominant market presence within the United States, working with numerous state and local jurisdictions to modernize their tax administration infrastructure.
The company’s core focus is the development and implementation of Integrated Tax Systems (ITS) that streamline the collection, processing, and management of public funds. RSI’s primary offering, Revenue Premier, is a comprehensive platform that covers registration, returns processing, accounting, collections, and audit management. Beyond software, RSI provides extensive professional services including project management, data migration, and business process re-engineering to ensure that digital transformation initiatives deliver measurable ROI.
Historically, RSI has been a key player in the "Tax Gap" space, helping governments identify and recover unpaid taxes through sophisticated data analytics and compliance tools. Their target audience encompasses state departments of revenue, large municipal finance departments, and provincial governments seeking to replace aging legacy mainframe systems with modern, web-based, and scalable solutions. As a company, RSI remains dedicated to the public sector, avoiding the distractions of the commercial market to focus entirely on the unique regulatory and operational needs of tax administrators.
Company Differentiation
RSI distinguishes itself through a "partnership-first" business model and a corporate culture rooted in technical excellence and longevity. Unlike many software providers that prioritize rapid-fire sales cycles, RSI focuses on deep institutional knowledge, often maintaining client relationships that span decades. This stability is a core value, ensuring that as tax laws and technologies evolve, their clients have a consistent partner who understands their specific legacy data and future goals.
Their approach to customer success is highly collaborative; RSI typically functions as an extension of a government agency’s IT and tax departments rather than just a third-party vendor. This is reflected in their philosophy of "empowering the public sector," where they prioritize knowledge transfer and system autonomy for their users. By maintaining a lean, expert-heavy organization, RSI ensures that clients interact with senior consultants and engineers who possess both technical proficiency and a nuanced understanding of public sector policy. This commitment to specialized expertise over mass-market scale makes them a unique fixture in the government technology landscape.

Product Differentiation
RSI’s product suite is headlined by Revenue Premier, a comprehensive Integrated Tax System (ITS) designed to manage the entire lifecycle of tax administration. A key technical advantage of RSI’s products is their modular architecture, which allows agencies to modernize their systems incrementally—reducing the risk and "sticker shock" associated with total "big bang" system replacements.
Key product differentiators include:
- **Advanced Data Analytics and Discovery:** RSI integrates sophisticated data-matching and discovery tools directly into the core platform, allowing agencies to identify non-filers and tax gaps with high precision.
- **Rules-Based Engine:** The platform utilizes a highly flexible, business-rule-driven engine that enables non-technical agency staff to update tax laws and rate changes without deep code modifications, significantly increasing organizational agility.
- **Unified Taxpayer View:** Unlike legacy systems that silo data by tax type, RSI provides a holistic, 360-degree view of the taxpayer across all tax types (income, sales, excise, etc.), improving audit accuracy and customer service.
- **Security and Compliance:** Built specifically for government standards, the products feature robust audit trails, role-based access controls, and compliance with federal security mandates (such as IRS Pub 1075).
By focusing on high-volume processing and complex calculation capabilities, RSI’s products are engineered to handle the massive data loads of state-level revenue departments while maintaining sub-second performance.
