2004 Digital Counties Survey WINNERS ANNOUNCED The Center for Digital Government and National Association of Counties (NACo) are pleased to announce the winners of their 2004 Digital Counties Survey, a national survey sponsored by SAP, a proud supporter of all local governments in the United States. In April, all counties in the United States were invited to participate in the survey, which consisted of 17 questions that focused on how county governments are applying information technology to effectively deliver services to their citizens. The survey grouped counties into four population categories: 500,000 or more; 250,000-499,999; 150,000-249,999; and less than 150,000. At the conclusion of the survey, a top-10 ranking was established for each population category. It gives us great pleasure to honor and acknowledge the hard work and effort put forth by all of our nation’s top digital county governments. Congratulations to all of them.
