SERVICE-ORIENTED ARCHITECTURE: Making Collaborative Government Work


The Governors Office in partnership with the Secretary of State launched an Internet service designed to assist business entrepreneurs in the state of Kentucky. The program simplifies the maze of regulatory red tape all new business owners experience by offering over 600 state licenses and permits online. The service identifies specific states licenses required for each of over 1,800 business types. Individuals, small business development centers and other programs that assist new businesses are expected to utilize this service. Users will be able to access information on which licenses are required as well as the contact person in state government for that license, fees and requirements, statutory and regulatory citations, the rationale for the license and links to forms available on the Internet.
