Government Acquisitions to provide webMethods Fabric™ as the foundation of the IRS’ Business Systems Modernization Initiative
Cincinnati, OH August 2, 2005 – The United States Internal Revenue Service (IRS), a bureau of the United States Department of the Treasury, selected Government Acquisitions to provide webMethods Fabric™ as the foundation of a business systems modernization initiative designed to increase the speed and efficiency by which the IRS processes over 224 million tax returns annually. Led by the bureau’s Modernization and Information Technology Services (MITS) division, the initiative will leverage webMethods Fabric to fully integrate the multitude of existing and future IT systems deployed throughout the IRS. As a result, the bureau also expects to benefit from enhanced productivity as critical application functionality will be more quickly deployed as readily invoked Web services.

We’re proud to be a core member of the Government Acquisition’s team supporting this effort," said Tammy A. Janorske, director, Government Business Unit, webMethods Inc.
