A Mobile & Modernized Mississippi

In keeping with the triple M’s of the latest GovLoop guide, Making Mobile Matter, this post highlights how Mississippi has channeled its modernization efforts in mobile apps. To learn how states can center their mobile development strategies on citizen needs and engagement, we chatted with Dr. Craig Orgeron, Chief Information Officer (CIO) of Mississippi and Executive Director at the MS Department of Information Technology Services.

Mobile is a central component to the modernization efforts in the State of Mississippi. Continuing efforts to mobilize state services has become an important tactic to improving state efficiency and empowering residents with the convenience of self-service.

Under Orgeron’s leadership, the state has emerged as a leader in developing mobile apps to serve residents and strengthen state services. Mississippi currently offers eight mobile apps to citizens and is exploring ways to develop a comprehensive mobile strategy in order to better serve the technologically advanced lifestyles of citizens.

Through our interview with Mississippi’s mobile leader, we found three central capacities that can be powered by mobile to aid in the daily lives of citizens. Is your state filling these mobile functions? Check out the GovLoop Mobile guide to read more.
