The UNITARY ACCESS platform allows companies to relate to the public administration through a single access instead of the four existing ones.
The UNITARY ACCESS aims at improving and simplifying the relationship between the business world and the Public Administration (PA) by providing a platform allowing companies to relate to the PA through a single access instead of the four existing ones (new SUAPER, SiedER, SIS and AIA); it unifies the building, environmental and seismic functions to the single contact point (SUAP) functions.
The regional PA challenge was to increase the offer of services to businesses by ensuring fully interoperable services, simplifying and facilitating access through a new platform for the e-submission of applications.

How does it work? The service makes available to the local PA, that adopts it, a set of procedures codified and certified, and allows customization to each public and third parties according to specific needs and regulations.
UNITARY ACCESS allows SMEs to:
1. Login to the platform by a public digital identity’s authentication system (SPID);
2. choose the intermediation;
3. search personal data and directory;
4 compile practice: fill-out necessary forms to stay in compliance with local regulations relating to the environment, productive and residential construction, commerce, tourism, health and maritime state property;
5. attach doc files;
6. make payments;
7. Signed digitally and sending the single form.

The competitiveness of the SMEs can significantly increase thanks to easier and quick digital access related admin bureaucratic practices for business.
