Nation’s Top 10 Digital County Governments Showcased

Information technology (IT) is being deployed on a grand scale by county governments across the U.S. to better serve citizens, according to the 2005 Digital Counties Survey, an annual study by the Center for Digital Government (Center) http://www.centerdigitalgov.com/ and National Association of Counties (NACo)http://www.naco.org/ . In recognition of their work and innovations, the survey’s top-10 digital counties will be showcased and honored at a national awards ceremony in Honolulu, Hawaii.

In April, all counties in the U.S. were invited to participate in the 2005 Digital Counties Survey, which is underwritten by Onbase. Officials responded to a set of 22 questions that included more than 95 measurements or data points. The survey grouped counties into four population categories: 500,000 or more; 250,000-499,999; 150,000-249,999; and less than 150,000. A top-10 ranking was established for each category.
