About Oklahoma's Official Web site "As the official Internet gateway of Oklahoma, we are committed to providing citizens and businesses with efficient online access to government." OK.gov ( www.OK.gov ), the state's official Web portal, has provided Oklahoma citizens and businesses with 24/7 access to state government information and services since 2001. The portal offers more than 374, 000 pages of information and interactive services, which are accessed nearly 25 million times each month. OK.gov was created to improve access to government, reduce service-processing costs and enable state agencies to provide a higher quality of service to their constituents. Oklahoma's government uses a variety of information technologies to support these initiatives, but the use of integrated web portals, like OK.gov, bring these initiatives together. OK.gov offers numerous possibilities to expand government services online, allowing citizens to interact closely with their state government, and revolutionize operational procedures at the state level. eGovernment is not only a good idea, it is quickly becoming a necessity. As scrutiny over government budgets increases, the efficiencies that eGovernment provides is transforming government processes everywhere. eGovernment has already generated many changes to laws and policies, and all levels of government have begun to recognize the emergence of eGovernment as having a profound effect on state government.
