LITTLE ROCK, Ark. -- (Business Wire)
Gov2Go, the first-of-its-kind, personal government assistant developed
by the Information
Network of Arkansas (INA), has received two national awards for
technology innovation.
With more than 80,000 votes cast, members of the state and local
government IT community selected Gov2Go from hundreds of nominations in
six categories to receive a StateScoop 50 Award in the Innovation of the
Year category. The StateScoop 50 awards honor innovators and emerging
leaders in state and local government.
Gov2Go also placed as a Top 8 Finalist from nearly 150 entries in the
American Council for Technology and Industry Advisory Council’s
(ACT-IAC) Institute for Innovation “Igniting Innovation 2016” Awards
Showcase. The awards recognize the most innovative uses of technology to
improve government programs and services to citizens.
“Arkansas has long been a digital government innovator, and it is an
honor to once again be recognized for our citizen-centric approach to
delivering government services through Gov2Go,” INA Board Chair Mark
Martin said. “More importantly, we are thrilled to see more than 140,000
people using Gov2Go and sharing positive feedback about how it’s making
their lives easier. We are positively changing the way Arkansans
interact with their government.”
Based on input from users, Gov2Go proactively brings relevant government
services and information to them on their computers, mobile devices, and
Apple watches. Gov2Go keeps track of deadlines such as property tax
payments, car tag renewals, and property assessment, and sends users
important reminders based on their needs.
