NIC, which calls itself an "e-government" company, has managed the state's official Web site - www.youroklahoma.com -- since June 2001. The Oklahoma Office of State Finance, which provides oversight for the state's online services, finalized the amended contract. Oklahoma is one of 16 states to offer online government services at no upfront cost to taxpayers through what NIC called its "self- funded solution."
"Development for eGovernment services is provided at no cost to agencies, and the portal is funded through a small number of fee services," said Lisa Counts, YourOklahoma.com general manager.
The YourOklahoma.com Web site provides eGovernment services to more than 30 state agencies and manages approximately 24,000 pages of online content.
In 2003, the portal processed more than 1.2 million transactions electronically.
