Success StoriesTax Datamart Finance 360 for World’s Largest Domain Registrar
Powers world’s largest services platform for entrepreneurs globally
Business Need
Objectives Driving Transformation
The world’s largest domain registrar required a consolidated, enterprise-wide tax data foundation to reduce exposure to FCC and global audit fines while meeting stringent municipal reporting timelines of 24 hours or less. Tax data was distributed across dozens of platforms and legal entities, limiting visibility and delaying audit response. The organization sought to automate compliance reporting, establish a single trusted source for tax data, and empower the tax team with self-service access to detailed, audit-ready information.
- Create a single source of truth for global tax data
- Automate data flows to support compliance reporting
- Meet ≤24-hour reporting requirements across jurisdictions
- Provide line-item detail for audit readiness
- Enable tax team self-service analytics and reporting
- Reduce regulatory fines and compliance risk
Centralize global tax data to reduce audit exposure, meet 24-hour reporting mandates, and enable self-service compliance analytics.
Challenge
Barriers to Progress
Tax operations spanned 28 platforms across 52 legal entities in 53 countries, with no mechanism to generate a 360° enterprise view of tax obligations. Manual entries and calculations increased error rates and delayed reporting cycles. The tax team lacked direct access to source systems, relying on system owners for data extraction, often resulting in delayed responses and audit fines. The absence of line-item invoice detail and an analytics platform further limited audit transparency and insight generation.
