Recognized for Radically Innovative Digital
Experience
Utah’s Hunting and Fishing application recently received two
national awards from the Center for Digital Government.
Utah’s Hunting and Fishing services received the Government
Experience Award and the Government Experience Innovation Award.
The services were made possible through a partnership between
Utah.Gov and the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources.
The Government Experience Awards recognize the achievements and
best practices that government agencies have implemented on the Web
and beyond. Dustin Haisler, chief innovation officer for the Center
for Digital Government, says Utah leads the country in providing
hunters and anglers with the ability to obtain licenses and permits
on mobile devices. The interactive voice services offered on Amazon
Echo, including a recently added Amazon Echo Alexa skill that
provides anglers with Utah fishing reports, were highlighted as an
innovation in how state agencies interact with those they
serve.
“Citizen expectations for government are increasingly being
reshaped by their experiences with consumer technologies,” Haisler
says. “The website is no longer the only experience they use—it’s
now one of many channels in their overall experience.”
In addition to the Government Experience Award, Utah’s hunting
and fishing online services received the Government Experience
Innovation Award. This award recognizes the achievements of states
that have radically improved the online experience citizens have
with them and that have pushed the boundaries of how citizen
services are delivered.
“We’re honored that our agency and Utah.Gov received these
awards,” says Utah Division of Wildlife Resources Director Mike
Fowlks. “As the awards indicate, the online services available to
Utah hunters and anglers are among the best in the country. We work
hard to make sure hunters and anglers get what they need quickly so
they can get outdoors and enjoy Utah’s incredible wildlife.”
