The Urban and Regional Information Systems Association (URISA) is accepting applications for its Exemplary Systems in Government Awards through April 11, 2014. The awards recognize exceptional achievements in the application of geospatial information technology that have improved the delivery and quality of government services. The award competition is open to all public agencies at the federal, state/provincial, regional, and local levels.
Applications may be submitted in the following two categories:
Single Process Systems—Systems in this category are outstanding and working examples of applying information system technology to automate a specific single process or operation involving one department or subunit of an agency. The system application results in extended and/or improved government services that are more efficient and/or save money.
Enterprise Systems—Systems in this category are outstanding and working examples of using information systems technology in a multidepartment environment as part of an integrated process. These systems exemplify effective use of technology yielding widespread improvements in the process(es) and/or service(s) involved and/or cost savings to the organization.
Applications must be submitted by April 11, 2014. Winners in each category will be recognized during GIS-Pro 2014: URISA’s 52nd Annual Conference, September 8–11, 2014, in New Orleans, Louisiana.
