State of Mississippi Finishes in Top Three for Government Experience


The official website of the State of Mississippi, ms.gov, won third place in the Center for Digital Government's third annual Government Experience Awards. Ms.gov was recognized for its digital first approach to delivering citizen-focused services, and for implementing the latest emerging technologies to present a single view of Mississippi government that is accessible from any device.

The Government Experience Awards recognize the achievements and best practices of states, cities and counties that excel at creating useful online government services and applications. The Center for Digital Government is a national research and advisory institute on information technology policies and sets the standard for measuring best practices in state and local government. This is the fifth consecutive year Mississippi has placed in the top five of the Center for Digital Government's prestigious government awards.

"Mississippi is honored to be recognized by the Center for Digital Government for our achievements in government experience," said Dr. Craig Orgeron, Executive Director of Mississippi Information Technology Services and State of Mississippi Chief Information Officer. "The continued success of the state's online services and the emergence of new citizen-centric experiences has greatly enhanced the citizen-to-government relationship. This award is yet another confirmation that, through the launch of innovative solutions like the ms.gov chatbot, MISSI, the personalized myMississippi platform, and the Ask Mississippi digital voice assistant, Mississippi continues to raise the bar for citizen engagement."

Ms.gov offers an easy, convenient way for Mississippians to access more than 250 online services, including driver license renewals, hunting and fishing license purchases, and MISSI, the state's award-winning digital government chatbot. In 2018 alone, Mississippi's electronic government technology served more than 1.5 million visitors and over 830,000 transactions across all online services. It securely processed more than $79 million in digital government transactions?a 13% digital adoption increase over 2017.

Additional notable innovations available on ms.gov include:

The entire ms.gov platform development, hosting, and maintenance, valued at more than $2 million, has been developed at no-cost to the state of Mississippi through a self-funded, public-private partnership between the state of Mississippi and eGovernment partner, Mississippi Interactive.
