ANOKA COUNTY EARNS RECOGNITION AWARD FOR WEB-BASED SERVICE 

Anoka County Staff

The 2007 Minnesota Government IT Recognition Award in the category of collaboration goes to a multi-divisional team of Anoka County and state employees who created an interface between the State Social Services Information System (SSIS) and the County’s Web-based Human Services vendor payments program. The award is given by the Government Training Services and the MN Office of Enterprise Technology.

 

Anoka County Commissioner Jim Kordiak at the Feb. 26 county board meeting said the award reflects the county’s commitment to efficiency.

 

“Anoka County has a history of encouraging employees to keep finding innovative and more effective ways to do business,” Commissioner Kordiak said. “Everyone benefits.”

 

The project was a collaborative effort between Anoka County, the State of Minnesota Department of Human Services, and an outside consulting firm, Tech Pro. The creation of an interface between county and state systems allows the Human Services providers in the community to electronically submit invoices for payment.
