GovDelivery Email and Digital Subscription Management
– State Government Client Case Study

Client: The Oregon Department of Human Services (DHS) (www.oregon.gov/DHS/index.shtml)
The Oregon Department of Human Services (DHS) mission is "assisting people to become independent, healthy and safe." GovDelivery® email Subscription Management advances the department's mission by letting Oregonians stay informed on issues that affect their quality of life by signing up for automatic email updates on the topics that matter most to them.
OREGON DHS'S NEEDS
- Use the website to deliver information to citizens in a time-efficient manner.
- Allow stakeholders the ability to subscribe to very specific items on their website.
- Save the department money.
Oregon DHS selected GovDelivery, a web-based solution that monitors websites for content updates and automatically generates email alerts when changes are detected on designated web pages. Delivering items electronically (vs. physically) saves the department money by eliminating printing, postage, and handling fees.

"We're making it easier for people to get the information they want from the Department of Human Services, while saving time and money. And we're putting our customers in charge of managing the information they get."
