Mission Statement
 
Department of Administrative Services
Lead the Pursuit of Excellence in State Government

E-government Directive
The Oregon Department of Administrative Services Enterprise Information Strategy & Policy Division E-government Program has a requirement under Executive Order 01-25 and specific statutory requirements to deliver centralized and improved services under ORS 184-305, 291-038, 291.032 and 291-034 to the State of Oregon in a comprehensive electronic government initiative. In the 2001 Legislative Assembly, the Department of Administrative Services (DAS) was charged with implementing an electronic government program that was to revamp the State Internet presence and improve the general interaction between government and its citizens.

Organization
Annual Performance Measures
 

The E-government program helps state agencies move information, forms, and payment processes to the Internet in order to provide services to citizens for what they need, when they need it.
 
E-government uses technology to offer online services to the public, such as registering your car or truck online. Oregon also uses e-government to help state agencies and employees share information through the state's intranet.
 
The move to e-government is not easy. In the past, each agency had its own Internet platform. This meant that Oregon had 70+ Internet platforms. To make e-government work, these agency platforms needed to talk to one another and to share information. And, Oregon needed a reliable, secure and cost-effective Internet platform to make this work.
 
The E-government program first worked with agencies across the state to create an e-government plan.  We teamed up with consultants to choose the equipment and applications that would make the plan work. In six months, we designed, bought, installed, and put this platform into service.

Programs
Internet
 
Oregon.gov has been redesigned to be easier to use. This redesign has made Oregon.gov easier to use in several ways:
  • All state Web sites will have a uniform appearance.  Now you will know when you are on an official Web site.  
  • A menu bar on the left side of your screen and a menu on the bottom of your screen will help you find your way around an agency's Web site.
  • You will find searches easier.  You won't need to wade through hundreds of Web pages to find one that answers your questions.  With the new Oregon.gov search engine, you don't have to.
  • You will be able to look through the directory of government organizations to find specific programs.
Not all our improvements can be easily seen.  We have developed several tools for state agencies to use when creating their Web sites.  These tools make creating and updating agency Web pages as easy as writing the text and submitting it.
 
E-Commerce

E-commerce allows state agencies to offer their products or services online. We work with agencies to develop their catalogs and virtual shopping carts. Finally, though the DAS E-government SecurePay system, we manage the payment process.
 
Intranet

We want to find more ways to use the state's intranet to improve how well we all work as a team. On the intranet, agencies can easily share problems they have had and how to solve them.
