Arkansas takes No. 1 spot for the second time
in state history
NIC Inc. (NASDAQ: EGOV), the dominant provider of eGovernment
services, congratulates 10 of its state government partners for
being ranked as the best state government websites in the country –
with five NIC government partners sweeping the Top 5. This is the
second consecutive year NIC state government 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 second time in the state’s history, Arkansas took top
honors, ranking as the best state government website in the
country. The official state website, http://www.arkansas.gov, was
recognized for the innovative Gov2Go – a first-of-its-kind,
personalized way for citizens to interact with government. Gov2Go
is a proactive digital assistant that learns about its users then
carefully curates and brings relevant government services and
information to them on their computers, mobile devices and Apple
Watches. In 2014, Arkansas ranked third in the Best of the Web
competition.
Rounding out the Top 5 were Utah in second place, Indiana in
third place, Mississippi in fourth place, and Texas in fifth place.
NIC partner states of Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Oregon, and Rhode
Island were recognized as finalists.
“Congratulations to our state government partners in Arkansas,
as well as all of our state government partners honored in the 2015
Best of the Web competition,” said Robert Knapp, NIC Chief
Operating Officer. “We are very proud of our partners and our
employees for working together to produce state portals that
deliver a dynamic user experience and efficient access to a wealth
of information and online services. We look forward to partnering
in the future to deliver even more innovation and
efficiencies.”
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 September
25, 2015 in New Orleans.
