Advantage Ohio: Ohio Business Gateway Enhancement In February I shared OIT’s priorities for the remainder of the biennium. Those priorities included Advantage Ohio: Ohio Business Gateway Enhancement. I am pleased to report that Phase 1 of the Advantage Ohio: Ohio Business Gateway Enhancement was implemented in mid-March when the transactional Ohio Business Gateway was merged with the informational state business portal. The goal of the project is to grow the Ohio Business Gateway to act as the primary on-line face of state government to the business community. The project is an element of the larger Advantage Ohio initiative focusing on regulatory reform and other efforts to make Ohio more competitive and appealing to the business community.
The Advantage Ohio: Ohio Business Gateway Enhancement project will be an area of focus for state agencies in the upcoming IT planning cycle. Agencies with programs that face the business community will be key elements in the on-going effort to simplify interacting and transacting with state government. For more information on the project, contact Digital Government at Mark Smith or Joe Zapotosky at 614-466-2701.
Cordially,
R. Steve Edmonson
