Keeping Score
The following is a list of recent national ratings and rankings and grades related to the online E-Government services and transparency efforts by the State of Oregon.

E-Government Program
The term "E-Government" is intended to include all efforts by all agencies to provide services and information online. The Department of Administrative Services E-Government Program is a central part of that effort. The E-Government Program provides services for agencies along 5 lines of business:

1. Online Web Content Management. Over 900 agency content contributors maintain over 340,000 pages and files on Oregon.gov. This content receives about 6 million visits per month.

2.Online E-Commerce. Over $110 million is processed each biennium with an average growth rate of 45% per year.

3. Enterprise Collaboration. The E-government program has enabled cross agency, cross-government, vendor and stakeholder collaboration for over two years with public collaboration capabilities planned for 2011

4. Development of online services. The E-Government program assists agencies by providing access to develop services for online applications.

5. Online data catalog. Data.Oregon.gov is the newest line of business for the E-Government program. It provides a single platform of Oregon data that visitors can share and manipulate with a powerful one-click search. Agencies can easily make use of this capability to provide access to public data.
