Reforma Tributária

Tecnologia para a Reforma Tributária: como se preparar para as mudanças?

Investir em tecnologia para se adequar à nova Reforma Tributária do Brasil é um divisor de águas quando o assunto é garantir um período de transição livre de complexidades desnecessárias. 

Criação do imposto sobre valor agregado (IVA), redução de impostos sobre consumo e simplificação da legislação: são esses alguns dos principais pontos da nova Reforma Tributária que, após mais de 30 anos de espera, torna-se pauta no Brasil.  

A proposta ainda não foi aprovada em definitivo pelo Congresso Nacional. Mesmo assim, a expectativa é que, durante o período de transição, as empresas tenham de lidar com a legislação atual e com a nova regra, adaptando toda a dinâmica de sua gestão tributária e fiscal para se adequarem ao novo momento do país. 

Essa tarefa pode ser um tanto quanto desafiadora, sobretudo para empresas que ainda não estejam debruçadas sobre tecnologias capazes de mapear e automatizar de forma inteligente uma série de aspectos fiscais que compõem as novas mudanças.  

Isso porque a trama fiscal brasileira é uma das mais complexas de todo o mundo, marcada pelo excesso de alíquotas e regimes especiais, além de uma ampla gama de legislações tributárias municipais e estaduais, sempre em constante mudança. Isso sem mencionar todos os esforços para cumprimento das chamadas obrigações acessórias… 

Mas como a tecnologia auxilia a gestão fiscal na prática?

Ferramentas de gerenciamento e compliance fiscal, quando plenamente integradas a todas as operações de uma empresa, garantem uma gestão muito mais eficiente, segura e menos custosa, uma vez que reduzem (e muito) a incidência de multas e outras punições por não conformidade. 

Agregar tecnologia para a nova Reforma Tributária garante um olhar holístico, tanto interno quanto externo à empresa, de tal modo que as modificações sejam incorporadas aos negócios de maneira muito mais simples e automatizada. 

Com a digitalização dos processos fiscais, eliminam-se operações manuais (e muitas vezes repetitivas) altamente sujeitas a erros. Ao mesmo tempo, temos a garantia de que nossos sistemas rodem em plena conformidade com as novas atualizações normativas. 

Frente a tantas mudanças, é preciso ter como prioridade as revisões e as reconfigurações necessárias nos sistemas de gestão atualmente em uso, de tal forma a garantir a correta apuração dos tributos e o cumprimento de todas as obrigações impostas pela legislação. 

Mais do que operacionais, esses ajustem impactam diretamente a estratégia das empresas e, por isso, devem ser conduzidos com muito critério a fim de minimizar qualquer possível efeito negativo ao longo da transição, sem perder de vista o crescimento do core business.

CAPEX

How to Reduce CAPEX Costs in SAP Implementation? 

CAPEX costs in SAP implementation, associated with the physical infrastructure of equipment and hardware, can pose a substantial financial challenge for companies looking to take the first step towards operational excellence and gaining a competitive edge.  

These significant costs are associated with the so-called SAP on premise model, which utilizes physical means, housed in an exclusive space, to function as data centers and handle all the information and data traffic of the application. 

With this model, significant investments are made in cutting-edge equipment capable of meeting the demands of each company. In addition to the main servers, costs related to all essential peripheral equipment to ensure connection with these servers are added.  

In this environment, it is crucial to direct significant technical efforts to resolve any issues that may occur as quickly as possible, thus avoiding any interruption to the operation. 

The Reality of CAPEX Costs in SAP On-Premise Implementation 

As seen, the implementation of SAP on-premise solutions demands a significant investment in physical hardware. The acquisition of servers, storage systems, network infrastructure, and other essential components implies substantial expenses.  

Studies indicate that hardware costs can account for up to 30% of the total initial expenses of an SAP on-premise project. This is a critical point to consider, especially in a business scenario where resource optimization and efficient capital allocation are imperative for success and competitiveness. 

For this reason, migrating to cloud-based solutions emerges as a catalyst for optimizing financial resources, capable of drastically reducing CAPEX costs in SAP implementation. 

Transformation Facilitated by the Cloud: Redefining Implementation Costs 

By adopting cloud infrastructure, companies can eliminate the need for the acquisition and maintenance of physical hardware. This strategic move allows the reallocation of capital expenditures (CAPEX) to the operational expenditure (OPEX) model, freeing up valuable resources for other strategic initiatives. 

Studies reveal that companies that migrated to SAP solutions in the cloud observed an average reduction of 30-50% in CAPEX costs related to IT infrastructure. Additionally, the ability to scale resources according to business needs resulted in greater efficiency, avoiding excessive investments in underutilized hardware. 

The cloud offers an unparalleled level of scalability and flexibility. Companies can increase or decrease processing power, storage, and other IT resources according to business demands. This means there is no need to invest in excessive infrastructure to meet seasonal peaks or fluctuations in operations. 

In addition to direct financial benefits, the cloud also provides a range of intangible advantages. This includes the reduction of maintenance and hardware update costs, which are assumed by cloud providers. This frees up internal resources and allows the IT team to focus on higher-value initiatives such as innovation and digital transformation. 

Origen Tech’s SOLaaS Model: Entering the SAP Cloud World Has Never Been Easier

In an increasingly competitive business landscape, optimizing financial resources is a pressing need. According to a survey by Aberdeen, companies that leveraged the advantages of the SAP Partner Managed Cloud program are twice as likely to see reductions in CAPEX costs in SAP implementation.

localization

Why is Brazil localization so important in SAP implementation? 

Localization in SAP refers to adapting the system to meet the specific legal, tax and regulatory requirements of a given country or region. 

This includes configuring system functionalities and parameters to ensure it complies with local accounting and tax practices. 

Specialist consultancies play a key role in ensuring that SAP is configured accurately and in compliance with local regulations. 

By deeply understanding the complexities and specific requirements of each reality, consultancies deliver a successful implementation, free from unnecessary complexities, in much less time. 

The challenge of localizing Brazil 

It is nothing new that Brazil’s fiscal and tax complexity is enormous. In general, Brazilian taxpayers spend 10 times more time than OECD countries to comply with their tax obligations. 

The Brazil localization in SAP is extremely important for companies operating in the country or wanting to enter this market. It refers to adapting the system to meet specific Brazilian requirements, reducing exposure to risks of non-compliance, fines, penalties and tax disputes. 

Brazil has several indirect taxes, such as ICMS, IPI, PIS and COFINS. Localization in SAP includes the configuration and calculation of these taxes in accordance with state and federal legislation. 

There are also municipal taxes, such as the ISS, which require an even deeper degree of localization and constant attention to regulatory changes. 

We cannot forget that Brazil has 5,568 municipalities, plus two districts (Fernando de Noronha and Distrito Federal), for a total of 5,570 locations. All of this generates an absolutely accelerated pace of regulatory changes, with dozens of fiscal and tax news being launched every day. 

The language barrier is also another challenge in implementing Brazil localization for multinational companies, since, in general, the level of English knowledge on the part of users is basic to intermediate. 

This scenario can lead to communication failures and important errors in SAP implementation, generating a highly damaging cost chain for companies. 

Origen Tech: SAP customizations do not need to be complex 

To accommodate with maximum effectiveness the accelerated pace of tax regulatory changes specific to Brazil, customizations are necessary in the SAP system. 

There are those who believe that this process is, by nature, extremely challenging. However, when conducted by a truly specialized team, customizations become free from unnecessary complexities, being executed with great agility and security. 

At Origen Tech, we work with cutting-edge technology combined with a senior team of consultants, specialized in simplifying the Brazil localization process. 

In our methodology, we apply some strategies that are strongly consolidated and tested in more than 12 years of experience with hundreds of clients served. Among them we can highlight: 

Real Needs Assessment: 

Before starting any customization, we assess whether it is really necessary. Sometimes it is possible to meet requirements using standard SAP functionality without the need for complex customizations. 

Use of Best Practices: 

With well-defined guidelines adapted to different sectors and business processes, we were able to minimize customization complexities, activating the system in record time. 

Impact Assessment: 

Before carrying out a customization, we carefully evaluate the impact it will have on the system as a whole. This includes considering possible side effects and the need for future updates. 

Constant Monitoring and Maintenance: 

After customizations are implemented, we continually monitor the system to ensure everything is working correctly. 

Long-Term Assessment: 

Our processes are designed to be sustainable and scalable in the long term, always following the growth of our customers.
