Oklahoma Governor's Online Appointments Suite Wins National Award

Gubernatorial Appointee Application Gains Prestige from the Digital Government Achievement Awards

OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Oklahoma Governor Mary Fallin's Appointments Suite of Services was one of three recipients presented with the award for Driving Digital Government in the State government category by the Digital Government Achievement Awards (DGAA).


The DGAA announced 2013 winners in the international competition that recognizes outstanding United States and international government agency and department Web sites and projects at the application and infrastructure level. The Driving Digital Government Award is presented to those who use technology to re-conceptualize, transform and digitize the way Government interacts with its customers, both internally and externally.

"One of the main goals of my administration has been to streamline government processes and improve services," said Oklahoma Governor Mary Fallin. "As part of that effort, I commissioned a comprehensive online system to manage the hundreds of boards and commission appointments. Our new web-based system enables a more user-friendly appointment application process for the public and simplifies work for my staff."

The Oklahoma Governor Mary Fallin's Appointments Suite of Services is the first online appointment system of its kind to be implemented in the nation. It serves as an online repository for Oklahoma appointments and current or potential appointees with the added functionality of customizable queries and data tracking.

The Governor's Appointments Suite of Services application has allowed the entire gubernatorial appointment process to become paperless, which saves thousands in taxpayer dollars and helps to diminish Oklahoma's carbon footprint by reducing the amount of paper utilized on a daily basis. In addition, the application has enabled a significant reduction in the resources required to manage the process, saving staff utilization hours and increasing productivity.
