OFFICE OF THE LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR
The Office of the Lieutenant Governor (OLG) of the U.S. Virgin Islands recognized the need to modernize its Division of Corporations and Trademarks, moving away from outdated, paper-based systems to a fully digital and user-friendly solution.
The Challenge
Before 2016, business registration in the USVI was slow, inefficient, and highly dependent on manual processes, making it difficult for entrepreneurs and corporations to operate smoothly. The government needed a secure, accessible, and disaster-resilient solution that could integrate business entity registrations, UCC filings, and trademark management into a single platform.
The Solution
Partnering with Foster Moore, a global leader in registry solutions, the OLG implemented Catalyst™, a comprehensive digital platform designed to streamline business registration and compliance services. The multi-phase project successfully delivered:
- 24/7 online access to business registrations, filings, and records
- Faster processing times and improved accuracy
- Automated compliance reminders to keep businesses on track
- Enhanced search capabilities for public and legal professionals
- Disaster-resilient, cloud-based infrastructure for uninterrupted service
The Results
The launch of Catalyst™ has transformed the USVI's business environment, positioning the territory as a business-friendly jurisdiction and enabling efficiency, transparency, and ease of compliance.
The Office of the Lieutenant Governor has streamlined its operations, reduced administrative burdens, and improved overall service delivery, ensuring long-term sustainability and growth.
The success of Catalyst™ in the USVI serves as a model for other jurisdictions looking to enhance their digital government services, proving the impact that innovative technology can have on business operations and regulatory compliance.
