During Covid-19 pandemic, the scope of human activity must be limited to prevent wider Covid-19 transmission, so that the government implements this OSS program to the public in obtaining business rights permits. For this reason, the effectiveness of the implementation of OSS Program in the Process of Obtaining SMEs Permits for Community Economic Empowerment During the Covid-19 Pandemic In Langkat Regency, North Sumatra Province, is a priority so that the bureaucracy in obtaining permits can be realized. The theory used is Effectiveness Concept Theory. The word effectiveness comes from the effective syllable which comes from the English word effective, which means something that has been done well. Electronic service theory is defined as an act, effort or performance whose delivery is mediated by information technology. The research method used is a research and development method (Research And Develompent). Based on the results of the research on OSS Policy in business licensing services at the Investment Office and One Stop Integrated Services, Langkat Regency, it is still less effective due to the condition and ability of the community to input data requirements for obtaining permits, facilities and infrastructure that are less supportive and the realization of support from relevant agencies in Langkat Regency, Sumatra Business.

Recommendations that can be made at this time are to continue to carry out socialization and assistance to business actors and optimize the role of the Office of Investment and One Stop Integrated Services at Langkat District.

The concept of effectiveness, effectiveness is effective which means something that has been done well. According to Sedamaryanti (2009: 59) defines effectiveness as a measure that provides an overview of how the target has been achieved, which is oriented to output and the problem of using inputs is less of a major concern, while according to Yamit (2003:14) defines effectiveness as a measure that gives an idea of how much far the goal is achieved, both in quality and time oriented to the resulting output.

According to Irwansyah (2013) several criteria are used to measure the work effectiveness of organizations that provide services, including:

Service time factor, accuracy factor in the service provider if there are many errors in the service process, the service provider style factor. The effectiveness of a program can be carried out with operational capabilities in carrying out work programs that are in accordance with predetermined objectives.

Budiani (2007) explains that measuring the effectiveness of a government policy program can be done using 4 (four) approaches, namely:

1. Accuracy of program targets

2. Program socialization

3. Program objectives

4. Program monitoring

The effectiveness of OSS (Oniline Single Submission) policy is a concept as a benchmark for achieving the objectives of the policy, both in the form of targets, time and long-term goals.

Electronic Service

Electronic service systems or E-services (Electronic Services abbreviated as E-Services) are one of the leading applications that utilize Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in different areas. However, a precise definition of e-service is hard to come by as some researchers have used different definitions to describe e-services. Although these definitions differ, it can be said that they all agree on the role of technology in facilitating services that make them more than electronic services (Zericka, 2013).

According to Rowley (2006, in Zericka, 2013), electronic services are defined as actions, efforts or performances whose delivery is mediated by information technology. These electronic services include elements of e-tailing services, customer support, and service. The definition suggests three main components—service provider, recipient and channel (i.e., technology). For example, as concerned for public electronic services, public bodies are as service providers and citizens and businesses are service recipients. Service channel is the third requirement of electronic service. Internet is the main channel of electronic delivery service while other classic channels are also considered.

In the analysis of situation, it is known that the problems experienced by business entrepreneurs in the Langkat Regency area in obtaining business permits through OSS in terms of the existence and condition of the community are divided into three, namely, people who like technology are fun because they can apply for permits from anywhere, for people who do not know technology (Gaptrek) in obtaining permits, they will be confused and some people do not care, this becomes ambiguous in the application for a business license.

The urgency in implementing this OSS is considering the development of a technology-based global world, to develop the business world for the benefit of state taxes and local income taxes from international domestic entrepreneurs. To streamline and to streamline valid time and speed of obtaining licensing data quickly, precisely and accurately
