LITTLE ROCK, Ark. -- (Business Wire)
The Information Network of Arkansas (INA) has won a Digital Edge 50
award for transforming Arkansas government through Gov2Go, the state’s
ground-breaking personal government assistant. Selected from hundreds of
entries in more than 15 industries, INA is among 50 international
organizations—including Accenture, FedEx, Cisco Systems, Monsanto,
Pfizer, Johnson & Johnson, and Verizon—that technology media company IDG
Enterprise recognized for digital transformation initiatives with
significant and measurable business impact.
Gov2Go is the nation’s first digital government assistant that delivers
citizen-centric government interactions. Today, more than 275,000
Arkansans have subscribed to Gov2Go to receive personalized, timely, and
relevant notifications about their interactions with state government.
Gov2Go learns about its users, keeps track of their deadlines—such as
voter registration, property tax payments, car tag renewals and property
assessment—and sends important reminders to their computers, mobile
devices, and Apple watches.
“It is an honor to once again be recognized for our citizen-centric
approach to delivering government services through Gov2Go,” INA Board
Chair and Secretary of State Mark Martin said. “This is an innovation
that is truly needed to make it easy for citizens to comply with state
and local laws without having to know them. Ultimately, Gov2Go has the
potential to become an indispensable part of citizens’ lives and
strengthen their connection to government.”
This marks the state’s seventh award for Gov2Go since the service first
launched in 2015. Other accolades include Finalist in the Government
