- Smarter eGovernment: The Economics of Online Services in Utah - in pdf format (245kb)
- (This document requires the use of Adobe Acrobat Reader). The University of Utah, Center for Public Policy and Administration, October 2012. "Conclusion: eGovernment has a positive track record in the state of Utah. The growth in eGovernment services is significant and equaled by the high level of use by citizens and business. In 2011, the number of average monthly visitors to Utah.gov was nearly 1.3 million. These individuals and businesses accessed a wide range of services such as license renewals, business filings, and tax payments. Without question, Utah’s tech-savvy citizens are using the Utah.gov portal increasingly as their first point of contact for state information and services. As technology changes and the digital divide disappears, governments throughout the nation are finding more reasons to provide services online. The potential benefits of e-Government for citizens are numerous, such as saving time and money, ease of use, and convenience of accessing services 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Beyond these benefits, eGovernment produces significant cost savings for state agencies. For both government and citizens, eGovernment is a smart choice..."

- 9 Utah State Agencies Save $46 Million Over 5 Years
- By Sarah Rich. Government Technology, October 19, 2012. "Government agencies and online service providers tout the many benefits of switching offline government services to a Web-based approach, but often don't quantify the actual savings. This is not the case in Utah, where a new study shows just how much was saved by switching to online services. In a new study, Smarter eGovernment: The Economics of Online Services in Utah, sponsored by NIC, the Center for Public Policy and Administration at the University of Utah surveyed and analyzed state agency services provided through Utah.gov. The results showed that since online services became available for the state in 1999, Utah has since deployed more than 1,000 online services..."

- By Jack B. Winn. OhMyGov, April 12 2012. "Utah.gov may be looking good this time of year, but officials in Riverton, Utah aren't 'liking' a new crop of unofficial Utah government social media accounts so much. According to the Salt Lake Tribune, government officials in the 38,000 strong city - and many others like it - are growing weary of a proliferation of municipal and local social media accounts, some not even sanctioned by their respective governments..."

- Utah's iPad User's Manual for State Employees
- By Adam Stone. Government Technology, March 26, 2012. "Thad Levar's iPad has become a lifeline. As deputy director of the Utah Department of Commerce, Levar relies on his device to keep him plugged into the office during long stretches of utter tedium. A legislative budget hearing, for instance, can run as long as four hours, while Levar’s turn to speak may fill just 30 minutes. That’s a lot of down time during which Levar must monitor events back at the office and elsewhere. 'I need to keep track of other legislative activity that is happening while I am there, things like new bills, new amendments to legislation, new budget documents,' he said. Levar isn’t alone in turning to the iPad for support. A growing number of Utah government workers rely on the device, with the support of a proactive IT department. In fact, Utah’s tech team took an early lead, producing a user’s manual for state employees in August 2010. The document has become a go-to guide for iPad users in the state and was updated in February..."

- Utah.gov Puts Search Front and Center
- By Matt Williams. Government Technology, June 2, 2011. "You can't miss the search field on the newly redesigned Utah.gov. After all, the bar dominates most of the homepage, superimposed on a high-res panoramic photograph of a desert landscape. Why? The answer is rooted in four years' worth of online analytics, which told state technology officials and Utah's vendor partner that search was by the most utilized feature by website visitors, used more than two times as often as anything else..."

- Private Cloud of Data Helps Utah Cities Find Inefficiencies
- By Sarah Rich. Government Technology, November 19, 2010. "Cities are always looking for ways to operate more efficiently.

That's the idea behind Utah City Data, a benchmarking project that helps participating cities and towns derive intelligence from a private cloud of city-by-city government data..."

- Public Engines to World: Look, But Don't Touch the Crime Data
- by Helen Fu. Citizen Media Law Project, Posted July 7, 2010. "Earlier this spring, Public Engines, Inc. sued ReportSee, Inc. in federal district court in Utah. Both companies maintain websites that publish local crime statistics and information gathered from law enforcement agencies. Public Engines gathers crime data by contracting with law enforcement agencies across the country to provide software and data management services. In contrast, ReportSee primarily gathers its information from public data feeds, police departments and, according to allegations in Public Engine's complaint, by scraping Public Engine's CrimeReports.com website. The complaint alleges breach of contract because scraping violates the terms of service of the website and hot news misappropriation, among other claims..."
