Case Study: Oklahoma Board of Architects modernizes licensing and continuing education with Thentia Cloud

How OBA leveraged Thentia Cloud to improve and automate tracking continuing education activities required for licensure

The Oklahoma Board of Architects, Landscape Architects and Registered Commercial Interior Designers (OBA) faced the challenge of modernizing its outdated, completely manual licensing and renewal processes. Its aging system was cumbersome for staff and inefficient for its 4,000 licensees, requiring the processing of thousands of paper documents and checks. OBA chose Thentia and its Thentia Cloud platform to find a specialized digital solution that could handle its rigorous regulatory and continuing education requirements.

Thentia implemented its cloud-based platform, which automated licensing, renewals, and the tracking of continuing education. This digitization eliminated over 3,600 paper applications and checks, streamlined workflows, and transferred the responsibility for compliance to licensees. The results for OBA included a 99% digital renewal rate, a 33% reduction in incomplete applications, and a 10% increase in revenue post-implementation.
