How System Integrators Qualify for Section 41

Have you been performing these day-to-day activities?

• Providing custom control and automation solutions for various applications;
• Developing schematic drawings for integration of system components;
• Designing and developing cost-effective operational processes;
• Sequencing of system operations;
• Programming control systems;
• Developing processes that meet increasing regulatory requirements;
• Providing product and system solutions, including design engineering and mechanical fabrication;
• Performing evaluations and system tests to ensure optimal
  functionality; and
• Determining appropriate control system logic to meet project goals.

The global systems integration market is growing exponentially; the pandemic has further accelerated this growth. But many integrators are struggling to find enough technical talent here in the U.S. to keep up with the increase in demand. Shortage in STEM talent and the higher competition for workers are already well-documented issues the industry is losing sleep over.

It is incentives like the R&D Tax Credit that will help system Integrators mitigate these challenges and stay ahead of the curve, while uncovering additional dollars for innovation and business growth.
