* Support increased accessibility, equitability, and readability of state websites and applications;

* Work with agencies to create easy-to-understand applications and payment processes;

"For the last 10 years, NIC has worked with Oregon's state agencies, boards, and commissions to develop innovative digital solutions, including payments, to support hundreds of government services," said Elizabeth Proudfit, president of the NIC Division of Tyler. "We are grateful to the state for continuing that relationship and our work together, building upon a solid foundation to take government services to the next level in Oregon."
