OLATHE, Kan. -
NIC
Inc. (NASDAQ: EGOV),
the dominant provider of digital government services, congratulates
seven of its state government partners for being recognized in the
inaugural Government Experience Awards, with four placing in the top
five in the Overall State Government Experience category. The rankings
were announced by the Center
for Digital Government. The new Government Experience Awards replace
the Center for Digital Government's former Best of the Web and Digital
Government Achievement Awards, and were created to provide a greater
focus on citizens' and businesses' overall online experience with
government beyond a government website.
Utah
took top honors, winning first place in the Overall State Government
Experience category. In addition, Utah took home three more awards,
including: Government Experience Innovation for the Utah Predictive
Government through Google Now and Amazon Alexa, State
Government-to-Citizen Experience for Utah Hunting and Fishing Services,
and Government-to-Government Experience for its Utah Public Meeting
Notice.
Also recognized in the Overall State Government Experience category were Indiana
in second place, Arkansas
in third place, and Mississippi
in fifth place. NIC partner state Texas
was recognized as a finalist.
NIC state government partners were recognized in several other
categories for their work to bring efficiencies to citizens, business,
and government. West Virginia's DMV "Skip the Trip" program was
recognized for State Government-to-Citizen Experience, and Wisconsin's
ePDMP services was honored for Government-to-Business Experience.
"Congratulations to all of our state government partners," said Harry
Herington, NIC's Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board. "We
are very proud of our government partners, as well as our NIC teams, for
their work to provide constituents innovative, citizen-centric digital
government experiences. We look forward to continuing to drive
innovation as together with our government partners, we strive to bring
citizens and businesses the best online government experiences possible."
The Center
for Digital Government is an international research and advisory
institute on the use of information technology in government. The
Government Experience Awards will be presented at a celebratory awards
event on September 15, 2017.
