One of three states to receive “A” grade
The Center for Digital Government announced today the state of
Utah again topped the Digital States Survey. Conducted every two
years, the Survey is the most comprehensive review of best
practices, policies, and progress made by state governments in
their use of digital technologies to serve residents and streamline
operations.
Over the past two years, Utah has continued to emphasize
improvements in core technologies that support the delivery of
digital services. Consolidation of state data centers, server
virtualization, and enhanced information security have all helped
ensure the reliable delivery of digital services to Utah businesses
and citizens. Many of these services are now available to mobile
users as part of the state’s mobile strategy.
State Chief Information Officer, Mark VanOrden, has overseen a
continuing effort to get the most out of state tax dollars by
supporting almost 1,100 online services, making it easier for Utah
citizens and businesses to interact with government.
Utah is one of only three states in the country to receive an
“A” grade in this year’s Digital States Survey. An “A” grade
represents states that have demonstrated results in all categories
of the study, including data management, policy alignment, adaptive
leadership, citizen engagement, and innovation. According to the
Center, top states use modernization to realize operational
efficiencies and achieve strategic priorities under nimble
leaders.
The state’s technology operations are managed by the Department
of Technology Services under the direction of CIO VanOrden.
