Docket Search and Investigative Reporting Suite
of Services recognized by the NASCIO State IT Recognition Awards
and the Digital Government Achievement Awards
The Oklahoma Pardon and Parole Board’s Online Docket Search and
Investigative Reporting Suite of Services is one of three
recipients to receive the award in the Government-to-Government
category by the 2014 Digital Government Achievement Awards (DGAA).
The DGAA recognizes outstanding United States and international
government projects at the application and infrastructure
level.
In addition, the PPB Docket Search and Investigative Reporting
Suite of Services also was honored as a finalist for the 2014
NASCIO State IT Recognition Awards in the Improving State
Operations Category. The National Association of State Chief
Information Officers (NASCIO) selected 33 IT initiatives in 11
categories as finalists for the State IT Recognition Awards.
Projects and initiatives from NASCIO member states, territories,
and the District of Columbia were eligible for nomination, and
finalists were selected by NASCIO’s Awards Committee from a field
of more than 100 nominees.
“These accolades symbolize the extraordinary benefits that the
Docket Search and Investigative Reporting Suite of Services brings
to the table,” said PPB Interim Executive Director Jari Askins.
“Not only has the system saved the State of Oklahoma taxpayer
dollars, but it has also provided a much needed revamp of an
antiquated manual system. Additionally, our staff is able to focus
on the accuracy of reporting for the Board, instead of tedious,
paper intensive tasks.”
Askins said that since implementation of the Oklahoma Pardon and
Parole Board Docket Search and Investigative Reporting Suite of
Services, public and inter-agency communication levels have
increased exponentially. In addition, Askins said the added
efficiencies provided by the system have been extremely important
to the Pardon and Parole Board, as the agency’s administrative
staff has been significantly reduced in recent years.
