Jakarta (ANTARA) - The Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM) will soon launch the latest version of the Online Single Submission (OSS 1.1). "The OSS 1.1. we will launch in the near future, is expected to answer several complexities facing investors who access the OSS system. For example, database and OSS applications will be redesigned to make them user-friendly so that the urgency of direct consultation could be reduced," BKPM Chief Thomas Lembong said in a press statement released Wednesday.

Several new features in the OSS 1.1 are adjusted to the processing of applications for business permits including business merger permit, water location permit/marine location permit and branch office permit.

The BKPM chief made these remarks following a coordination meeting at the Coordinating Ministry for Economic Affairs in Jakarta Tuesday.

In view of the rising number of OSS users, there are a lot of issues that are needed to improve the system to serve the investors, he said.

One of the complaints that must be answered is the long queue of applications for OSS services at the board's integrated one-stop service center (PTSP Center BKPM.) Given the online system, applicants need not to come to the BKPM.

Investors in Bekasi, Bogor and Tangerang could come directly to the local Capital Investment and One-stop Integrated Services (DPMPTSP) for consultations. The DPMPTSP can now give the same consulting service as the PTSP Center at BKPM.

The board will soon launch the latest version of OSS, BKPM Deputy for Capital Investment Service Husen Maulana said.

"OSS 1.1. provides special features to help issue micro and small individual business permits. In addition, the business agents could decide which the main activities are and which the supporting activities are," he said.

The number of businessmen contacting a call center is quite high, with the duration of consultations averaging 40 minutes per individual, he said.

"This leads to a long queue at the call center," he said.
