GITA Announces the Launch of Redesigned AZ.gov Website

PHOENIX, ARIZONA – Chad Kirkpatrick, Director of the State of Arizona Government Information Technology Agency (GITA), today announced the launch of Arizona’s new and revised website, AZ.gov. The updated site provides a more citizen friendly format that allows users the ability to access state information quickly and efficiently as is the culmination of a long-standing project that began in the summer of 2008. It builds upon the requests from citizens to be able to access the state resources from one website.

“The increase of online services available from the State has risen dramatically over the last few years, and many citizens are taking advantage of these offerings,” stated GITA Director and State CIO, Chad Kirkpatrick. “These tools, available to all our agencies, increase effectiveness and cost savings to the state agencies and to the citizens of Arizona. GITA has realized an unprecedented level of collaboration with all state agencies to complete this redesign project.”

Arizona Governor Jan Brewer noted the completion of the redesign stating, “This update focuses on the needs of Arizonans. I firmly believe that modernizing this tool will lead to critical cost savings and efficiency at a time when savings and increased efficiencies are critically important.”

All state departments, agencies, boards and commissions are linked directly to AZ.gov, and it was built as a resource, tool and guide to navigating government services. It is part of a larger website redesign to take advantage of emerging web technologies and create a consistent look and feel among all state agency websites. The website redesigns will be completed by the end of this year.
