The innovative Gov2Go platform was created in Arkansas, and brings
together all of a person’s interactions with all levels of government in
one convenient place – eliminating the need for citizens to navigate
multiple sites, mobile apps, and platforms for federal, state, county,
and city government. As part of the initial set of national services,
people across the U.S. can receive detailed information for their states
about Amber Alerts and election information, and can also purchase
digital passes to select National Parks and U.S. Forest Service sites
via the NIC YourPassNow solution.
“NIC is pleased to bring the convenience of Gov2Go to everyone in the
United States,” said Harry Herington, NIC Chief Executive Officer and
Chairman of the Board. “Gov2Go is a comprehensive platform that puts
citizens at the center of government. In addition to this initial set of
services, any government can adopt the platform and deliver even more
convenient services to their constituents.”
With Gov2Go, people provide information about their government
interactions to establish a profile. Gov2Go functionality also allows
for an individual’s government interactions throughout the year to be
tracked, notifies the citizen when renewals or payments are due, and
completes the transaction within the Gov2Go platform. In addition, new
Gov2Go functionality includes biometric payment authentication and
one-click payments with stored account information. The platform is
hosted on Microsoft’s Azure public cloud, and marks the beginning of
more collaboration between NIC and Microsoft.
“Microsoft is proud to partner with NIC on Gov2Go to help governments
digitally transform, utilizing technologies to create great places to
live and better connect citizens to services,” said Michael Donlan, Vice
President, US State and Local Government at Microsoft. “The
collaboration with NIC shows how Microsoft Azure can help drive change
across the country by offering problem-solving solutions. From alerting
residents about important government interactions to delivering outdoor
recreational solutions more effectively, cloud technology is modernizing
government at the local, state and federal levels.”
Gov2Go is a device-neutral platform, with the personal assistant for
government accessible via a desktop, mobile device, Apple Watch, and
Apple TV. The personal assistant for government can also be accessed by
downloading the Gov2Go native mobile application available for both iOS
and Android devices. The platform is designed to expand and adapt with
technologies of the future, and will soon include voice-activated
services via Microsoft Cortana, Amazon Echo, Google Home, and similar
voice-command devices.
“This is just the beginning for Gov2Go,” said NIC Chief Operating
Officer Robert Knapp. “NIC will constantly be providing access to more
government services through the platform and making Gov2Go available
using new, innovative technology. People expect a new level of on-demand
convenience when dealing with government, and Gov2Go is the answer.”
In addition to the initial national services, an expanded library of
government services are already available to people in Arkansas,
Colorado, and Nebraska. Today, more than 20 percent of all adults in
Arkansas have signed up to receive Gov2Go notifications. More states
will be joining the Gov2Go platform by the end of 2017 and making
additional services available to the people of their state.
“We launched Gov2Go in Arkansas because our citizens see government as
one entity,” said Yessica Jones, Director, Arkansas Department of
Information Services. “They want government information and services
integrated across federal, state, and local government in one convenient
solution. That is exactly what Gov2Go provides.”
