News

The Ohio Department of Commerce has selected Persistent Systems (BSE & NSE: PERSISTENT) to design and build the e-licensing system for tracking various industry licenses required by the Ohio Medical Marijuana Control Program. The system, expected to go live in early 2018, will integrate with the State’s larger eLicensing platform as well as the State’s payment gateway (CBOSS). Persistent will leverage its collaborative development center in Dublin, Ohio to set up the team.

“The eLicensing platform is another great example of how smart government initiatives are embracing digital transformation for more efficient workflow.
