HONOLULU -- (Business Wire)
The state Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs’ (DCCA) Business
Registration Division (BREG) won an International Association of
Commercial Administrators (IACA) Merit Award for its “AlertMe” services.
The award was presented to Hawaii at the 38th Annual IACA
conference, which was held in Savannah, GA from May 17-21, 2015, where a
select panel of experts carefully reviewed each submission and assigned
a score in the areas of effectiveness, originality, significance and
transferability, and lessons learned.
“I’d like to commend the hardworking staff in our Business Registration
Division for this well-deserved award,” said DCCA Director Catherine
Awakuni Colón. “The system was designed as a direct response to the
needs of our customers.”
“We are constantly striving to make business registration in Hawaii
quick and simple,” said Securities Commissioner Ty Nohara, who heads
BREG. “This award is a reflection of our commitment to the growing needs
of our customers and our goal to make doing business in Hawaii easier
for everyone.”
In December 2014, BREG launched alertme.ehawaii.gov, which offers
MyBusiness Alerts and MyBusiness Reminders, which are mobile-friendly
notification services. Through these new services, customers can
virtually monitor and manage their businesses at low cost and with high
efficiency. Through MyBusiness Alerts, consumers can sign up to receive
near real-time emails and text messages that will notify them when
someone makes a change to a company’s official state business
registration record.
The AlertMe services were created in partnership with Hawaii Information
Consortium, LLC to address customer needs and demands. BREG staff
reports an increase in notification requests for a number of reasons
including: urgent business status, watching the business, identity
theft, and internal dispute. With this system, BREG now has the advanced
technology to notify businesses through text or email messages, as
changes occur instead of only once a day.
The AlertMe notification services are one of the few government services
in the nation to offer text message notifications.
IACA is a professional association for government administrators of
business organization and secured transaction record systems at the
state, provincial, territorial, and national level in any jurisdiction
which has or anticipates development of such systems.
