State Agencies’ Services Have Earned 13 Awards
So Far During 2015
The Utah Department of Technology Services announced two
Utah.Gov applications were recently recognized with government
industry awards. The awards reflect the state’s dedication to
providing useful services to the residents of Utah. Utah’s Fiscal
Note System was chosen as one of 10 awards nationwide for
Outstanding Information Technology Achievement in Government, and
the Utah Hunting and Fishing Mobile Application was awarded for
Outstanding Achievement in the Field of Information Technology.
“We are extremely grateful to be recognized by such prestigious
organizations," said Mark VanOrden, Chief Information Officer, Utah
Department of Technology Services. "We strive to provide the very
best technology for the residents of Utah and it helps to see
efforts rewarded.”
The Awards Committee of the National Association of State Chief
Information Officers recently completed its review of nominations
for the 2015 State IT Recognition Awards and Utah Hunting and
Fishing was one of four finalists selected for Outstanding
Achievement in the Field of Information Technology in the
Information Communications Technology (ICT) Innovations
category.
Utah Hunting and Fishing is the mobile resource for wildlife
events, licenses, permits, information, and for outdoor enthusiasts
to communicate with the DWR. Hunters and anglers can download all
current valid licenses and new licenses to their mobile device and
display them for game wardens. From the application, users can view
walk-in-access properties, report poachers, and check shooting
hours. The application helps sportsmen identify wildlife,
waterfowl, and fish species found in Utah.
“When organizations from within government industry identify the
innovative solutions of our state agencies and partners,” said
VanOrden, “It is validation of the superior collaborative work
created by the technology professionals in the state of Utah.”
Utah’s Fiscal Note Agency Response System was also chosen to
receive one of 10 awards from Government Computer News (GCN) for
Outstanding Information Technology Achievement in Government. The
GCN Awards recognize outstanding IT achievement in government and
the degree to which a project has transformed an agency's ability
to operate more efficiently, or serve the public more
effectively.
The Utah Legislature’s Fiscal Note System automatically notifies
agencies when the Legislature proposes a bill that changes laws
applicable to that agency. It allows the agency to quickly review
the bill and indicate whether or not the bill has a financial
impact.
Utah.Gov websites and applications have earned 13 awards so far
this year.
