São Paulo is the newest State to receive the Business Intelligence System Based on Electronic Invoices (BI NF-e) from the free availability of the source code and documentation, necessary for the implementation of the system, to the Secretary of Finance of the State of São Paulo (SEFAZ-SP).

The tool, designed to work in any state, aims to equip the inspection of operations covered by NF-e and contribute as an instrument to combat tax evasion and increase the collection of the Tax on Circulation of Goods and Services (ICMS).

The system is the result of the Cooperation Agreement signed in September 2009, between the Government of the State of Bahia and ETCO, in which Sefaz Bahia undertook to develop and subsequently make the system available to the Secretariats interested in its implementation. BI NF-e was developed by Microsoft together with technicians from Sefaz / BA.

In addition to Bahia, 16 states have already received the system: Acre, Amazonas, Goiás, Mato Grosso, Mato Grosso do Sul, Maranhão, Paraíba, Paraná, Piauí, Rio Grande do Norte, Rondônia, Roraima, Santa Catarina, São Paulo, Sergipe, beyond the Federal District.
