GovDocs -- e-Government that works
 

GovDocs launched our GovDelivery® E-mail Subscription Management application in early 2001 with two simple goals. First, help governments improve communication and service for residents using comprehensive e-mail communication.  Second, allow hardworking public employees to get e-government up and running without unreasonable time or financial investment.

 

Our customers have experienced incredible results!  From Berkeley, CA to Washington, DC, residents are staying better informed and governments are better publicizing job opportunities, RFPs, and public notices by offering personalized e-mail subscriptions with GovDelivery.

 

Feedback from customers has led to exciting new enhancements for GovDelivery.  Learn about our results with current customers and some of these new enhancements below.


Success in Stearns County
Residents React to New Website

 

Stearns County, Minnesota - Population 133,166

 

In just 10 months of using GovDelivery, Stearns County has been able to launch more than 150 subscription options through GovDelivery generating subscriptions from over 1,000 residents.

 

George McClure, Information Services Director for Stearns County said, "GovDelivery is one of the only e-government applications that we've used that has been of immediate and tangible benefit to citizens."


Quick Facts: Why e-mail subscriptions are the easiest way to enhance your website

 
  • Internet users are ten times more likely to use e-mail on a given day than to visit even one government website


  • Many governments find that more than sixty percent of the visitors to their site in a given year only visit once. Personalized e-mail subscriptions through GovDelivery allow governments to contact residents proactively with updates of interest ensuring that the website get the usage required to facilitate better service and financial savings.

GovDelivery's Page Watch Feature Further Automates Management

 

The feature is a virtual assistant that reminds department administrators when e-mails should be sent to subscribers

 

Page Watch ensures smooth integration with any content management process or application. Page Watch checks your website (or any online content) for changes, notifies the designated administrator of the update, and brings the administrator directly to an e-mail that is ready-to-send to subscribers with a single click.

The feature is valuable for all sizes of governments, but larger governments such as the District of Columbia, Minneapolis, and Berkeley find the reminders especially useful.
