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.
