The Franchise Tax Board presented plans for $14 million in IT investments during the board's regular meeting on Sept. 8.
The board has requested authority to purchase an estimated $6 million in additional storage capacity for its enterprise systems, according to board documents.
The Franchise Tax Board plans to use procurement agreements from the Department of General Services for the storage purchases.
The board also was presented with a budget change proposal for the 2017-18 fiscal year that would request a total of $8.1 million during 2017 and 2018 from the General Fund and special funds to replace the FTB's phone system at its main headquarters.
The FTB's current phone system, a Pointspan Time Division Multiplexed (TDM) PBX telephone system, will reach end of life in 2018.
The Franchise Tax Board recently finished its Enterprise Data to Revenue Project and is in the early planning stages of a companion project, EDR32.
