The Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries and Parks’
(MDWFP) online and mobile licensing services has won a Digital
Government Achievement Award (DGAA) by the Center for Digital
Government. The DGAAs recognize outstanding agency and department
websites and applications based on innovation, functionality, and
efficiency. MDWFP’s suite of services, consisting of an online,
mobile optimized license purchase application and mobile apps for
both iPhone and Android outdoor enthusiasts, received top honors in
the Government to Citizen (G2C) category.
“Mississippi’s hunting and fishing license sales has one of the
largest constituent license bases in the State. With over 660,000
licensees, it is critical to MDWFP that online sales are as
efficient as possible,” said Jason Thompson, MDWFP License/Boat
Registration Director, “and with nearly 40 percent of all visitors
coming to the online licensing application from a mobile device it
was also crucial that the service be accessible across
platforms.”
The MDWFP online license sales application features a
streamlined business process, mobile optimization for quick
purchase on any device, and wizard interface that tailors itself
based on users’ responses. In addition to the online license
application, outdoor enthusiasts can download the free iPhone or
Android apps to remotely purchase hunting and fishing licenses,
renew boat registrations, and access tools designed for use
Mississippi’s outdoors. Additional features of the mobile apps
include GPS mapping to pinpoint nearby state parks and wildlife
management areas as well as a trophy case to capture and share
images of game. "Having date and bag limit information at my
fingertips has come in handy numerous times," said David
Richardson, an outdoor enthusiast from Oxford, MS. "Not to mention
the convenience of purchasing my license from practically
anywhere, anytime."
The Department partnered with Mississippi’s eGovernment
provider, Mississippi Interactive (MSI), to complete the launch of
the successful suite of services. Using a self-funded model, the
applications were built, with ongoing hosting and maintenance, at
no cost to MDWFP.
