ENTERPRISE LICENSING AND PERMITTING SOLUTION
FOR THE STATE OF IOWA
Background
Governor
Chet Culver issued EO 26 in October 2010 which directed:
"DAS/ITE
shall continue to develop enterprise
applications to support transparency into the state’s processes and
financial
management programs, including the deployment of one-stop shop
licensing portal
for government services."
In January of 2009, the DAS
Director approved an IOWAccess project to provide a configurable
off-the-shelf
system to allow the Boards of Nursing, Dentistry and Medicine to
license
citizens in their applicable profession.
Project funding approval provided that the chosen system allows other agencies to participate, providing expansion into an Enterprise Licensing solution. The Technology Governance Board approved issuance of the RFP and a Master Contract (MA# 005 3544-09) was awarded to CSDC Systems, Inc. for their AMANDA product.
