SYS Technologies was also a teaming partner with Unisys on the TIPSS-2 program. The TIPSS-2 program began in 2000 and lasted for 5 years. SYS provided e-learning and training solutions, in conjunction with Unisys, for the Internal Revenue Service through the TIPSS-2 contract. One such project created by SYS Technologies under Unisys' TIPSS-2 contract was an online training and certification program for the Internal Revenue Service entitled Link and Learn Taxes. Approximately 10,000 volunteer tax preparers have received certification through the program for the 2005 filing season, and 30,000 since the program's inception. On TIPSS-3, SYS has been asked to maintain and enhance this training. Link and Learn Taxes is used to ensure that Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) volunteers receive proper training and certification.
