INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. — The Center for Digital Government has given Indiana an “A” for its use of digital technology. The state was cited for use in finance and administration, enterprise information, communications, health and human services, and citizen engagement.
“We are fully committed to putting the latest digital technologies to work for Hoosier taxpayers,” said Chief Information Officer, Dewand Neely, who oversees the Indiana Office of Technology. “Indiana is a leader in applying technology in the smartest and most efficient ways possible.”
The top rating follows two other technology awards from the CDG in 2016 – a “Best of the Web” award for the IN.gov website, and a Digital Government Achievement Award for the Indiana Information Sharing and Analysis Center, a cybersecurity venture.
For the last 19 years, the CDG has issued nationwide ratings to help benchmark the governments’ use of digital technologies, conducting a bi-annual survey designed to highlight the best and emerging practices that can be shared across state borders.
