Case Study: Gannett achieves streamlined data collection and faster tax analysis with CSC Corptax Office

Streamlining Data Collection and Improving Analysis with Corptax Office

Gannett faced a cumbersome tax workflow that relied on 160 linked Excel spreadsheets to track adjustments, making analysis slow, error-prone and “inflexible and not suitable for quick analysis.” To centralize and streamline reporting by segments such as deferred assets/liabilities and federal/state tax effects, Gannett selected CSC Corptax and its Corptax Office solution.

CSC Corptax implemented Corptax Office to load and lock data in a common database, use Excel-based templates and data maps, and automatically update related entries and audit trails. The solution reduced manual work and risk, consolidated eight summary spreadsheets into one report, enabled more frequent reporting, and freed up at least 17 additional days per year for higher-value work.
