Governor’s Letter


As Governor since 2007, I have worked continually to make
state government more accessible to Arkansans and more
efficient in its delivery of services. Over the past year, the
state’s official website introduced 93 new eGovernment
online services and websites. These allow citizens to search
for information and resources more easily, whether online
or via mobile smartphones.

Government agencies, which have a digital presence through
Web and mobile offerings, provide government transparency,
information sharing, and convenience via online services for citizens. The
Information Network of Arkansas (INA) continues to deliver state and local
government in formats that keep citizens connected. State agencies have also
included social-media tools, including Facebook and Twitter, to maximize
offerings and effectively engage the public. The state portal, Arkansas.gov,
combines all relevant social-media streams into one view for the public, and
creates an easy point-of-access for developments in state government.

Arkansas has become a national leader in using technology to make government
more responsive, and it will be exciting to see where we are headed in the future.
In 2011, the state’s website was named the best state government site in the
nation, receiving a first-place ranking by the Center for Digital Government.
This research institute has ranked Arkansas.gov in the top-ten state websites
for each of the past five years.

We are grateful to receive this recognition, and my administration will continue
working to improve the information and services the state provides online.
As technology continues its rapid development, Arkansas will strive to remain
a national leader in serving our citizens with these new technologies. I believe we
have created the most efficient and innovative Web portal to meet the needs of
Arkansans, and we look forward to providing an ever-more accessible and
user-friendly state government.


Sincerely,




Mike Beebe
INA Board Chair Letter


Information Network of Arkansas had quite a few
success stories in 2011. Arkansas.gov introduced a major
redesigned fully mobile-ready website which included a
smart search, Text4help, and geolocation services. ACIC
launched the new online Centralized Electronic Network
of Sex Offender Registries (CENSOR) which will save the
state approximately $55,000 by eliminating the notices sent
to offenders via certified mail every six months.

“YOUniversal” Financial Aid System saw an application increase of 441% over the
previous year with the addition of the mobile version and increased Financial Aid
availability just to name a few. In addition, INA designed/developed and launched
93 new online services and websites for the State of Arkansas.

2011 was a year of accolades for Arkansas.gov and the state. The Center for
Digital Government ranked the portal site, Arkansas.gov, Best of Web for 2011.
Mobile Arkansas.gov and Online Services Suite also won a Center for Digital
Government Achievement award in the Government-to-Citizen category as well
as earned a National Association of State Chief Information Officers (NASCIO)
finalist award. And last, but not least, “YOUniversal” Mobile Application won the
Center for Digital Education Achievement Award.

INA has proven to be a leader in the industry and I am sure it will be interesting
to see what INA produces in 2012.

It is my privilege to serve as the INA Board Chair and on behalf of the
INA Board members we sincerely hope you find the annual report a useful
reference for Arkansas state government services and that it provides some
potential solutions for your organization as well.

Sincerely,




Ann Purvis
INA Board Chair

          Information Network of Arkansas Profile
          The Information Network of Arkansas (INA) Board was created in 1995 and operates
          under the authority of Arkansas code 25-27-101 et. seq. with the statutory responsibility
          of assisting the state in exploring and improving citizen and business access to public
          information and services. INA is a State Governing Board that consists of individuals from
          both the public and private sector that represent different communities of interest.


          The objective of INA is to improve the accessibility of Government in the form of public
          information or electronic transactions. These transactions may be between Citizens and
          Government, Businesses and Government or between Governmental Agencies and
          offices. INA manages the State’s web portal www.Arkansas.gov and provides secure
          online payment processing through Arkansas GovPay, the State’s payment portal.


          Operating under a self-funded model, the INA network, its infrastructure, employees,
          office space and equipment are fully funded through portal convenience/transaction fees
          associated with information requiring limited access by statute and electronic filings that
          require a fee. The State does not appropriate any funds for this network. State services
          that do not have a fee remain free to businesses and citizens. State and local agencies
          do not pay for the development or hosting of the online services. If agencies need
          expedited development services, INA may charge rates consistent with state published
          rates for each biennium.


          In 2011, INA developed 93 new services and websites for the citizens and businesses
          of Arkansas and processed more than $2.25 billion in transactions for state and local
          agencies.


          The Information Network of Arkansas provides non-partisan support for more than 270
          government agencies, boards, and commissions and has created over 890 online
          services at no cost to the agencies or using state appropriated funds. The Arkansas.gov
          website was named “Best of Web” in state web portals in the nation in 2011. INA continues
          to bring innovative solutions and creative design to eGovernment in the State of Arkansas.

          2011 Service Highlights
          INA County and Local Services
          The Information Network of Arkansas continues to work with County officials in order to
          expand their online services throughout the state of Arkansas. In 2011, INA launched 22 new
          county services.


          Website Development: Working in collaboration with Connect Arkansas’s e-Community
          Strategies program, INA developed fully funded new websites for approved counties across
          the state. The new websites help create a central location where users can find information
          on county government, general news and other county specific information. Having a county
          web presence provides new avenues for civic engagement in shaping smart growth within a
          county’s footprint for the future. Using Content Management System (CMS) technologies, the
          Arkansas.gov CMS solution provides the standards, compliance, and tools, for counties to
          have a first class web presence that is easy to maintain and keep current.


          This year INA launched the geolocation widget to Arkansas.gov which is designed for
          inclusion on local and community websites that want to embed code for city, county or state
          online services “near me” within their own website. Because its geolocated, the widget returns
          search results based on the user’s location.


          Emergency Medical Service (EMS) Payments: A new service launched in 2011, the
          Emergency Medical Service payment application allows citizens who use this county service
          to make payment online or over-the-counter using a credit or debit card. Online, citizens can
          enter their account number along with required information and submit payment to be applied
          to their existing account. Over-the-counter citizens can now use a debit or credit card where
          formally the only accepted method of payment was cash or paper check.


          Personal Property and Real Estate Tax Payments: The tax services include Online,
          Telephone Interactive Voice Response (IVR), Over-the-Counter (OTC) and Mobile payment
          options for citizens. These services allow county residents to pay for their property and real
          estate taxes with a credit card or e-check. Currently 41 counties offer the ability to pay
          personal property and real estate taxes using the Arkansas.gov GovPay payment engine.
          These counties represent almost 75% of the State’s population. www.ar-tax.org


          Hot Check Restitution Payments: This service allows defendants the ability to pay their
          restitution and fee payments online via credit card for hot checks written and prosecuted.
          Offenders can go online to make restitution and possibly prevent a warrant from being issued
          for their arrest. INA is currently providing this service to 41 counties in Arkansas.

          INA County and Local Services
          Court Record Payments: The online court records application allows businesses and
          citizens to search the county court records index for free. Court images may also be
          purchased and downloaded from the service.
          www.arkansas.gov/salinecourtrecords


          Traffic and Court Payments: This service allows courts to accept court, traffic and
          parking tickets, bonds and fine payments online or over-the-counter (OTC). This service can
          be standalone or integrate with any case management system. Payments may be made by
          credit/debit card.
          www.ark.org/county_onlinepayment/ticket; www.LRtickets.org


          INA also provides payment processing services for the Arkansas Administrative Office of the
          Courts eTraffic portal.
          www.pay.courts.arkansas.gov


          City Utility and Permitting Payments: This service allows cities to offer online and
          over-the-counter (OTC) payments for water, waste disposal, and city permitting. This
          service can be standalone or integrate with any backend database solution. Payments
          may be made by credit/debit card or by electronic check.


          All of these services were created using the INA self funded business model. The counties
          do not pay for any development, maintenance, customer support, hosting or payment
          processing of these applications or services.

      Arkansas.gov Mobile Payment Processing Portal
          Statistically becoming the technology of choice by Americans, mobile smartphones are
          embedded in our daily life connecting us with the world in which we live. INA continues to
          develop our mobile suite of services delivering state and local government in a format that
          keeps citizens engaged. In 2011 two new services were added to our mobile offerings suite,
          Auditor of the State Unclaimed Property search and Arkansas Department of Higher Education
          YOUniversal Mobile. The Center for Digital Government Achievement awarded Arkansas as
          winner in the Government-to-Citizen category for Arkansas.gov Mobile and Online Services
          Suite.

          Not only was Arkansas 1st in the nation to offer mobile payments with a smartphone but
          Arkansas was 1st in the nation to offer Text4help which is a customer service support function
          using text messaging technology.

          Serving Arkansans on the go, the mobile payment applications take advantage of the same
          GovPay payment processing engine as the online solution providing a convenient, simple and
          secure option for users to access government services which are available on all smartphone
          operating platforms, including Apple iOS, Rim Blackberry, Android, and Windows Phone.

          Centralized Electronic Network for
          Sex Offender Registries System (CENSOR)
          The registration of sex offenders and the ongoing management of their information have been
          significantly improved in comparison to formerly used paper-based processing methods with
          the launch of the online Centralized Electronic Network for Sex Offender Registries System
          (CENSOR) in March 2011. CENSOR, which contains data records on over 11,720 sex
          offenders in Arkansas, not only provides more efficiency for the Arkansas Crime Information
          Center (ACIC), local law enforcement and the Arkansas Department of Correction (ADC)
          but it also allows more timely information about these sex offenders to be communicated to citizens.


          Through a collaborative effort between officials at the ACIC, the ADC and local law
          enforcement to streamline the registration and verification processes, local law enforcement
          officials now utilize this unique application to reduce the time it takes to update the statewide
          sex offender registry system at ACIC and ensure the ADC has current sex offender data
          available for assessments. Officers can also conduct the sex offenders’ scheduled
          verifications and update their information through the online system.


          “This new system gives us a sex-offender registration process that is faster and safer, and
          saves our taxpayers money,” Governor Mike Beebe said. “Along with notifying the public
          sooner, the system also increases accountability for offenders, giving law-enforcement
          agencies more confidence in tracking those who are living in their communities.”


          This one of a kind system seamlessly integrates with a web camera to capture current
          photos of sex offenders and electronically transfer the images to the statewide sex offender
          registry at ACIC. Official registration and acknowledgement documents are automatically
          generated and are able to be signed by the offender and the registration official on an
          electronic signature pad. All information, including photos, is saved securely into the ACIC
          imaging system. That ADC officials regularly receive updated data files through the
          CENSOR system allows these users to start the sex offender assessment process immediately.


          The development of the CENSOR system was enabled by new legislation that allowed ACIC
          to mandate electronic sex offender registration, which alleviated the state’s responsibility to
          continue sending certified letters. As a result of this change, the state has realized savings
          of $55,000 annually that includes a reduction in the manual processing of the Verification of
          Residency forms. Since the launch of the CENSOR system in March 2011, 515 users from
          ACIC, ADC and law enforcement have registered for the system across the state. These
          users submitted a combination of over 9,800 registrations, verifications and other allowed
          administrative changes.

          Arkansas Department of Higher Education
          The “YOUniversal” Financial Aid System was developed to help students determine which
          scholarships they may be eligible for and to streamline the application process. The system
          consolidates 21 programs from different governmental agencies into one unified database
          and then applies a rules engine that takes basic information from the student or parents and
          returns a list of scholarships for which they may qualify.


          The result is an easy to use tool that walks Arkansas students, parents and counselors
          through a series of questions to find and apply for available scholarship funds within one
          application. The agency sees significant savings in staff administrative work as the system
          has automated many of the manual functions that were previously being performed to join
          information from disparate systems.


          The system automatically integrates processes and information from the Federal Government
          FASFA application process, Arkansas Department of Education TRIAND data for student
          transcripts, and Higher Education Institutions for student enrollment verification and financial
          aid awards. Students manage their profile and can review the award process in the system
          throughout their higher education experience.


          Because many of Arkansas’s students use smartphones or other mobile devices, creating
          access from a mobile device was key to this programs success. A mobile version of the site
          was created along with apps in the Apple, Android and Windows 7 stores. The YOUniversal
          mobile system includes several innovative features. Integration with Facebook, Twitter and the
          nation’s first state government SMS Text4help service allows students to text their
          questions and receive answers via text message, keeping them on the mobile application.

          Arkansas.gov Portal
          The Arkansas.gov new design is a vehicle for bringing Arkansas E-Government to the
          forefront by becoming the first state government to use groundbreaking technology,
          delivering state agency information quickly, and effectively through the latest electronic
          devices for citizens of every generation that utilize state services.


          The nation’s first state government mobile payment services were created by the Arkansas.
          gov portal. Mobile payment services were designed to cater to Arkansans on the move.
          Citizens from 32 counties have the ability to complete mobile property tax payments. Tax
          payments, traffic and court fines, utility payments, and business licensing cover almost
          92% of the state’s 2.9 million residents. Approximately $2.5 billon eGov transactions are
          processed yearly. This year mobile transactions for the portal increased approximately
          16 percent. This increase solidifies INA’s initiative to be the leader for implementing new
          technologies in the government sector. Text4help and the YOUniversal Financial Aid
          Scholarship System are two examples of unique mobile systems that are supported via
          text messaging technology. Users can quickly and effectively communicate with technical
          support representatives by sending and receiving information using only text messages.


          Monthly there are approximately 178,745 portal visitors that benefit from our user centric
          smart searches that quickly locate information for county, state agency, and the local
          community. The portal displays the State’s public meeting calendar that lists state agency
          public meetings, provides links to relevant meeting documents, and offers location mapping.
          The eGovernment services section offers a geolocation widget that embeds code for
          eGovernment services and pushes them to community websites; showing where the services
          are in proximity to the user. This widget assists local entities in better serving the needs of
          their citizens.


          The portal combines convenience and improved accessibility by seamlessly readjusting
          the size of the mobile website to match the screen of many electronic mobile devices from
          the iPad to the Android device. Podcast, eNewsroom, the latest road conditions, and portal
          Alerts can all be accessed via smart devices. From Amber Alert notifications to property tax
          payments the Arkansas.gov portal redesign encompasses just about everything the average
          Arkansan would want to access from their government.

      Security
          Information and Payment Processing Security
          The Information Network of Arkansas takes its responsibility as the state board providing
          e-government services in Arkansas very seriously. INA recognizes that not only should there
          be a focus on the government more efficiently conducting its business, but also on the citizens
          being assured that all possible efforts are being made to ensure that their information is used
          solely for the purposes they intended.


          Portal Information Security
          Employees, project requirements, development practices and infrastructure hosting services
          must meet rigorous security standards to protect our state and local government partners. A
          security review is required and conducted on all new and modified software code before being
          released to the public and adheres to strict privacy guidelines. The portal also has regular
          communications with a dedicated security team that provides information on new and
          upcoming security risks.


          Payment Security
          As the payment processor for the State of Arkansas, INA complies with the Payment Card
          Industry/Data Security Standard (PCI/DSS). PCI/DSS contains more than 60 specific
          requirements for ensuring the integrity and confidentiality of payment information submitted.
          INA conducts a full re-assessment of its compliance with PCI/DSS annually and receives
          quarterly scans from an approved scanning vendor. In 2011, INA securely processed over
          4.2 million transactions for the State of Arkansas. These transactions accounted for over
          $2.5 billion through the portal’s payment processor.


          In addition to compliance with PCI/DSS, INA holds additional security certifications. The INA
          partnership with Arkansas State Police and the Arkansas Crime Information Center mandates
          that INA comply with the FBI’s Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS) security policy.
          INA also undergoes an enterprise-wide security assessment as part of the Verizon
          Business/CyberTrust Security Management Program (SMP).


          Financial Data Assurance
          To ensure the integrity of all financial systems and transactions INA participated in an annual
          SSAE16 Assessment. The assessment, conducted by a third party accounting firm, ensures
          that all of INA’s financials systems are configured to ensure that financial transactions and
          disbursements are accurate, follow industry best practices in terms of reconciliation, and
          financial data security.

  • 3. Governor’s Letter As Governor since 2007, I have worked continually to make state government more accessible to Arkansans and more efficient in its delivery of services. Over the past year, the state’s official website introduced 93 new eGovernment online services and websites. These allow citizens to search for information and resources more easily, whether online or via mobile smartphones. Government agencies, which have a digital presence through Web and mobile offerings, provide government transparency, information sharing, and convenience via online services for citizens. The Information Network of Arkansas (INA) continues to deliver state and local government in formats that keep citizens connected. State agencies have also included social-media tools, including Facebook and Twitter, to maximize offerings and effectively engage the public. The state portal, Arkansas.gov, combines all relevant social-media streams into one view for the public, and creates an easy point-of-access for developments in state government. Arkansas has become a national leader in using technology to make government more responsive, and it will be exciting to see where we are headed in the future. In 2011, the state’s website was named the best state government site in the nation, receiving a first-place ranking by the Center for Digital Government. This research institute has ranked Arkansas.gov in the top-ten state websites for each of the past five years. We are grateful to receive this recognition, and my administration will continue working to improve the information and services the state provides online. As technology continues its rapid development, Arkansas will strive to remain a national leader in serving our citizens with these new technologies. I believe we have created the most efficient and innovative Web portal to meet the needs of Arkansans, and we look forward to providing an ever-more accessible and user-friendly state government. Sincerely, Mike Beebe
  • 4. INA Board Chair Letter Information Network of Arkansas had quite a few success stories in 2011. Arkansas.gov introduced a major redesigned fully mobile-ready website which included a smart search, Text4help, and geolocation services. ACIC launched the new online Centralized Electronic Network of Sex Offender Registries (CENSOR) which will save the state approximately $55,000 by eliminating the notices sent to offenders via certified mail every six months. “YOUniversal” Financial Aid System saw an application increase of 441% over the previous year with the addition of the mobile version and increased Financial Aid availability just to name a few. In addition, INA designed/developed and launched 93 new online services and websites for the State of Arkansas. 2011 was a year of accolades for Arkansas.gov and the state. The Center for Digital Government ranked the portal site, Arkansas.gov, Best of Web for 2011. Mobile Arkansas.gov and Online Services Suite also won a Center for Digital Government Achievement award in the Government-to-Citizen category as well as earned a National Association of State Chief Information Officers (NASCIO) finalist award. And last, but not least, “YOUniversal” Mobile Application won the Center for Digital Education Achievement Award. INA has proven to be a leader in the industry and I am sure it will be interesting to see what INA produces in 2012. It is my privilege to serve as the INA Board Chair and on behalf of the INA Board members we sincerely hope you find the annual report a useful reference for Arkansas state government services and that it provides some potential solutions for your organization as well. Sincerely, Ann Purvis INA Board Chair
  • 5. 2 0 1 1 A n n u a l R e p o r t Information Network of Arkansas Profile The Information Network of Arkansas (INA) Board was created in 1995 and operates under the authority of Arkansas code 25-27-101 et. seq. with the statutory responsibility of assisting the state in exploring and improving citizen and business access to public information and services. INA is a State Governing Board that consists of individuals from both the public and private sector that represent different communities of interest. The objective of INA is to improve the accessibility of Government in the form of public information or electronic transactions. These transactions may be between Citizens and Government, Businesses and Government or between Governmental Agencies and offices. INA manages the State’s web portal www.Arkansas.gov and provides secure online payment processing through Arkansas GovPay, the State’s payment portal. Operating under a self-funded model, the INA network, its infrastructure, employees, office space and equipment are fully funded through portal convenience/transaction fees associated with information requiring limited access by statute and electronic filings that require a fee. The State does not appropriate any funds for this network. State services that do not have a fee remain free to businesses and citizens. State and local agencies do not pay for the development or hosting of the online services. If agencies need expedited development services, INA may charge rates consistent with state published rates for each biennium. In 2011, INA developed 93 new services and websites for the citizens and businesses of Arkansas and processed more than $2.25 billion in transactions for state and local agencies. The Information Network of Arkansas provides non-partisan support for more than 270 government agencies, boards, and commissions and has created over 890 online services at no cost to the agencies or using state appropriated funds. The Arkansas.gov website was named “Best of Web” in state web portals in the nation in 2011. INA continues to bring innovative solutions and creative design to eGovernment in the State of Arkansas. www.ina.arkansas.gov 3

  • 7. 2 0 1 1 A n n u a l R e p o r t 2011 Service Highlights INA County and Local Services The Information Network of Arkansas continues to work with County officials in order to expand their online services throughout the state of Arkansas. In 2011, INA launched 22 new county services. Website Development: Working in collaboration with Connect Arkansas’s e-Community Strategies program, INA developed fully funded new websites for approved counties across the state. The new websites help create a central location where users can find information on county government, general news and other county specific information. Having a county web presence provides new avenues for civic engagement in shaping smart growth within a county’s footprint for the future. Using Content Management System (CMS) technologies, the Arkansas.gov CMS solution provides the standards, compliance, and tools, for counties to have a first class web presence that is easy to maintain and keep current. This year INA launched the geolocation widget to Arkansas.gov which is designed for inclusion on local and community websites that want to embed code for city, county or state online services “near me” within their own website. Because its geolocated, the widget returns search results based on the user’s location. Emergency Medical Service (EMS) Payments: A new service launched in 2011, the Emergency Medical Service payment application allows citizens who use this county service to make payment online or over-the-counter using a credit or debit card. Online, citizens can enter their account number along with required information and submit payment to be applied to their existing account. Over-the-counter citizens can now use a debit or credit card where formally the only accepted method of payment was cash or paper check. Personal Property and Real Estate Tax Payments: The tax services include Online, Telephone Interactive Voice Response (IVR), Over-the-Counter (OTC) and Mobile payment options for citizens. These services allow county residents to pay for their property and real estate taxes with a credit card or e-check. Currently 41 counties offer the ability to pay personal property and real estate taxes using the Arkansas.gov GovPay payment engine. These counties represent almost 75% of the State’s population. www.ar-tax.org Hot Check Restitution Payments: This service allows defendants the ability to pay their restitution and fee payments online via credit card for hot checks written and prosecuted. Offenders can go online to make restitution and possibly prevent a warrant from being issued for their arrest. INA is currently providing this service to 41 counties in Arkansas. www.arkansas.gov/hotcheck 5
  • 8. 2 0 1 1 A n n u a l R e p o r t INA County and Local Services Court Record Payments: The online court records application allows businesses and citizens to search the county court records index for free. Court images may also be purchased and downloaded from the service. www.arkansas.gov/salinecourtrecords Traffic and Court Payments: This service allows courts to accept court, traffic and parking tickets, bonds and fine payments online or over-the-counter (OTC). This service can be standalone or integrate with any case management system. Payments may be made by credit/debit card. www.ark.org/county_onlinepayment/ticket; www.LRtickets.org INA also provides payment processing services for the Arkansas Administrative Office of the Courts eTraffic portal. www.pay.courts.arkansas.gov City Utility and Permitting Payments: This service allows cities to offer online and over-the-counter (OTC) payments for water, waste disposal, and city permitting. This service can be standalone or integrate with any backend database solution. Payments may be made by credit/debit card or by electronic check. All of these services were created using the INA self funded business model. The counties do not pay for any development, maintenance, customer support, hosting or payment processing of these applications or services. 6

  • 10. 2 0 1 1 A n n u a l R e p o r t Arkansas.gov Mobile Payment Processing Portal Statistically becoming the technology of choice by Americans, mobile smartphones are embedded in our daily life connecting us with the world in which we live. INA continues to develop our mobile suite of services delivering state and local government in a format that keeps citizens engaged. In 2011 two new services were added to our mobile offerings suite, Auditor of the State Unclaimed Property search and Arkansas Department of Higher Education YOUniversal Mobile. The Center for Digital Government Achievement awarded Arkansas as winner in the Government-to-Citizen category for Arkansas.gov Mobile and Online Services Suite. Not only was Arkansas 1st in the nation to offer mobile payments with a smartphone but Arkansas was 1st in the nation to offer Text4help which is a customer service support function using text messaging technology. Serving Arkansans on the go, the mobile payment applications take advantage of the same GovPay payment processing engine as the online solution providing a convenient, simple and secure option for users to access government services which are available on all smartphone operating platforms, including Apple iOS, Rim Blackberry, Android, and Windows Phone. Below is a listing and description of the mobile services available and can be found on your mobile device at www.arkansas.gov/m. Unclaimed Property Search | Auditor of the State Each year millions of dollars in unclaimed property are turned over to the Auditor’s office by companies who cannot locate the owners.

  • 12. 2 0 1 1 A n n u a l R e p o r t Centralized Electronic Network for Sex Offender Registries System (CENSOR) The registration of sex offenders and the ongoing management of their information have been significantly improved in comparison to formerly used paper-based processing methods with the launch of the online Centralized Electronic Network for Sex Offender Registries System (CENSOR) in March 2011. CENSOR, which contains data records on over 11,720 sex offenders in Arkansas, not only provides more efficiency for the Arkansas Crime Information Center (ACIC), local law enforcement and the Arkansas Department of Correction (ADC) but it also allows more timely information about these sex offenders to be communicated to citizens. Through a collaborative effort between officials at the ACIC, the ADC and local law enforcement to streamline the registration and verification processes, local law enforcement officials now utilize this unique application to reduce the time it takes to update the statewide sex offender registry system at ACIC and ensure the ADC has current sex offender data available for assessments. Officers can also conduct the sex offenders’ scheduled verifications and update their information through the online system. “This new system gives us a sex-offender registration process that is faster and safer, and saves our taxpayers money,” Governor Mike Beebe said. “Along with notifying the public sooner, the system also increases accountability for offenders, giving law-enforcement agencies more confidence in tracking those who are living in their communities.” This one of a kind system seamlessly integrates with a web camera to capture current photos of sex offenders and electronically transfer the images to the statewide sex offender registry at ACIC. Official registration and acknowledgement documents are automatically generated and are able to be signed by the offender and the registration official on an electronic signature pad. All information, including photos, is saved securely into the ACIC imaging system. That ADC officials regularly receive updated data files through the CENSOR system allows these users to start the sex offender assessment process immediately. The development of the CENSOR system was enabled by new legislation that allowed ACIC to mandate electronic sex offender registration, which alleviated the state’s responsibility to continue sending certified letters. As a result of this change, the state has realized savings of $55,000 annually that includes a reduction in the manual processing of the Verification of Residency forms. Since the launch of the CENSOR system in March 2011, 515 users from ACIC, ADC and law enforcement have registered for the system across the state. These users submitted a combination of over 9,800 registrations, verifications and other allowed administrative changes. 10

  • 14. 2 0 1 1 A n n u a l R e p o r t Arkansas Department of Higher Education The “YOUniversal” Financial Aid System was developed to help students determine which scholarships they may be eligible for and to streamline the application process. The system consolidates 21 programs from different governmental agencies into one unified database and then applies a rules engine that takes basic information from the student or parents and returns a list of scholarships for which they may qualify. The result is an easy to use tool that walks Arkansas students, parents and counselors through a series of questions to find and apply for available scholarship funds within one application. The agency sees significant savings in staff administrative work as the system has automated many of the manual functions that were previously being performed to join information from disparate systems. The system automatically integrates processes and information from the Federal Government FASFA application process, Arkansas Department of Education TRIAND data for student transcripts, and Higher Education Institutions for student enrollment verification and financial aid awards. Students manage their profile and can review the award process in the system throughout their higher education experience. Because many of Arkansas’s students use smartphones or other mobile devices, creating access from a mobile device was key to this programs success. A mobile version of the site was created along with apps in the Apple, Android and Windows 7 stores. The YOUniversal mobile system includes several innovative features. Integration with Facebook, Twitter and the nation’s first state government SMS Text4help service allows students to text their questions and receive answers via text message, keeping them on the mobile application. https://www.ark.org/adhe_financialaid/login.aspx . 12

  • 16. 2 0 1 1 A n n u a l R e p o r t Arkansas.gov Portal The Arkansas.gov new design is a vehicle for bringing Arkansas E-Government to the forefront by becoming the first state government to use groundbreaking technology, delivering state agency information quickly, and effectively through the latest electronic devices for citizens of every generation that utilize state services. The nation’s first state government mobile payment services were created by the Arkansas. gov portal. Mobile payment services were designed to cater to Arkansans on the move. Citizens from 32 counties have the ability to complete mobile property tax payments. Tax payments, traffic and court fines, utility payments, and business licensing cover almost 92% of the state’s 2.9 million residents. Approximately $2.5 billon eGov transactions are processed yearly. This year mobile transactions for the portal increased approximately 16 percent. This increase solidifies INA’s initiative to be the leader for implementing new technologies in the government sector. Text4help and the YOUniversal Financial Aid Scholarship System are two examples of unique mobile systems that are supported via text messaging technology. Users can quickly and effectively communicate with technical support representatives by sending and receiving information using only text messages. Monthly there are approximately 178,745 portal visitors that benefit from our user centric smart searches that quickly locate information for county, state agency, and the local community. The portal displays the State’s public meeting calendar that lists state agency public meetings, provides links to relevant meeting documents, and offers location mapping. The eGovernment services section offers a geolocation widget that embeds code for eGovernment services and pushes them to community websites; showing where the services are in proximity to the user. This widget assists local entities in better serving the needs of their citizens. The portal combines convenience and improved accessibility by seamlessly readjusting the size of the mobile website to match the screen of many electronic mobile devices from the iPad to the Android device. Podcast, eNewsroom, the latest road conditions, and portal Alerts can all be accessed via smart devices. From Amber Alert notifications to property tax payments the Arkansas.gov portal redesign encompasses just about everything the average Arkansan would want to access from their government. www.arkansas.gov/ 14

  • 20. 2 0 1 1 A n n u a l R e p o r t Security Information and Payment Processing Security The Information Network of Arkansas takes its responsibility as the state board providing e-government services in Arkansas very seriously. INA recognizes that not only should there be a focus on the government more efficiently conducting its business, but also on the citizens being assured that all possible efforts are being made to ensure that their information is used solely for the purposes they intended. Portal Information Security Employees, project requirements, development practices and infrastructure hosting services must meet rigorous security standards to protect our state and local government partners. A security review is required and conducted on all new and modified software code before being released to the public and adheres to strict privacy guidelines. The portal also has regular communications with a dedicated security team that provides information on new and upcoming security risks. Payment Security As the payment processor for the State of Arkansas, INA complies with the Payment Card Industry/Data Security Standard (PCI/DSS). PCI/DSS contains more than 60 specific requirements for ensuring the integrity and confidentiality of payment information submitted. INA conducts a full re-assessment of its compliance with PCI/DSS annually and receives quarterly scans from an approved scanning vendor. In 2011, INA securely processed over 4.2 million transactions for the State of Arkansas. These transactions accounted for over $2.5 billion through the portal’s payment processor. In addition to compliance with PCI/DSS, INA holds additional security certifications. The INA partnership with Arkansas State Police and the Arkansas Crime Information Center mandates that INA comply with the FBI’s Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS) security policy. INA also undergoes an enterprise-wide security assessment as part of the Verizon Business/CyberTrust Security Management Program (SMP). Financial Data Assurance To ensure the integrity of all financial systems and transactions INA participated in an annual SSAE16 Assessment. The assessment, conducted by a third party accounting firm, ensures that all of INA’s financials systems are configured to ensure that financial transactions and disbursements are accurate, follow industry best practices in terms of reconciliation, and financial data security. 18
