Digital Counties Survey Winners

The Center for Digital Government (CDG) and the National Association of Counties (NACo) recently announced the 18th annual Digital Counties Survey winners.

This year, the Digital Counties Survey Awards were held virtually and recognized leading jurisdictions in the use of advanced analytics, digital equity initiatives, and COVID-19 response.

"Innovative counties are using technology and data to better serve their citizens, respond quickly to citizen needs around COVID-19, and support digital experience initiatives, " said Phil Bertolini, co-director, CDG, in the award announcement.

Of the 52 exceptional winning counties, all but seven are Tyler clients. We applaud these counties demonstrating how to embrace cutting-edge approaches to strengthening communities, solving problems, and improving lives.

Los Angeles County, California, (1st Place, 1,000,000 or More) engaged in significant efforts to accelerate mobility goals to facilitate its newly created remote workforce. Pre-pandemic, Ventura County, California, (1st Place, 500,000-999,999) had already worked to consolidate its approach to IT security.
