Hawaii takes No. 1 spot for the first time in
state history
NIC Inc. (NASDAQ: EGOV), the dominant provider of eGovernment
services, congratulates five of its state partners for being ranked
as the Top 5 best state government websites in the country. It has
been three years since NIC partners took all of the Top 5 honors.
The rankings were announced by the Center for Digital Government as
part of its annual “Best of the Web” competition.
For the first time in the state’s history, Hawaii took top
honors, ranking as the best state government website in the
country. The official state website, http://www.eHawaii.gov, was
recognized for enhanced mobile and touch screen capabilities, as
well as the my.hawaii.gov dashboard and the data.hawaii.gov new
data portal. My.hawaii.gov uses gaming elements to help citizens
track paper saved, minutes saved, and miles not driven by
conducting state government transactions online. In 2013, the
state’s web portal was recognized as a Best of the Web
finalist.
Rounding out the Top 5 were Utah in second place, Arkansas in
third place, Texas in fourth place, and Maryland in fifth place.
NIC partner states of Indiana, Kansas, Nebraska, and Oregon were
recognized as finalists. This is the fourth consecutive year Utah
has ranked as one of the Top 5 state websites, and the first time
in history that Oregon has ranked among the top state websites in
the country.
“We have a single focus at NIC, and that is to join forces with
our government partners to make government more accessible for
everyone through technology,” said Harry Herington, NIC Chief
Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board. “It is great to see
these partnerships resulting in the ‘best of the best’ state web
portals in the United States. All of us at NIC are honored to work
every day with all of our government partners.”
The Center for Digital Government is an international research
and advisory institute on the use of information technology in
government. The “Best of the Web” Awards will be presented October
23, 2014 in San Francisco.
