CDW Government, Inc. (CDW-G), a wholly owned subsidiary of CDW
Corporation [NASDAQ:CDWC]
and leading source of Information Technology (IT) solutions to
governments and educators, today announced that it provided an HP
wireless notebook solution with custom software imaging to the Oklahoma
House of Representatives, enabling 24/7 access to bills and other
critical legislative information for the 101 House members and saving
the House more than $100,000 annually on printing and distributing
legislation.
The House turned to CDW-G for advice on the solution that would best
meet legislators’ requirements for anytime,
anyplace computing, easy access to information and faster lawmaking
processes. With CDW-G’s demonstration of
leading technology solutions, the House selected the HP Compaq nx9420,
which combines cutting-edge mobile computing technologies, high-end
graphics, and long battery life into a thin and light package that
accommodates the legislators’ mobile work
style, allowing them to access bills and related information from their
offices, homes or on the road. Also key to legislators’
requirements, the HP notebooks include a 17-inch screen, allowing for
review of bills side by side. Custom software imaging provided by CDW-G
allowed the House to meet an aggressive deployment deadline without
taking its IT staff away from other mission-critical responsibilities.
“Information is power, for both legislators
and our constituents,” said Rep. Randy
Terrill, assistant majority floor leader of the Oklahoma House of
Representatives. “With access to legislative
information from any location, House members can represent our
constituents more effectively, while saving taxpayer dollars. Citizens
benefit as well from the ability to track legislation and amendments as
they are posted to the House of Representatives’
Web site.”
The notebook solution allows legislators to access bills and related
information via Web-based, password-protected applications accessed via
Internet Explorer from any location with an Internet connection.
Previously, every member of the House received a paper copy of every
bill on the agenda. Now, the full text of all bills is just a few mouse
clicks away.
“In the past, legislators’
desks were covered in paper, and they often had to carry reams of paper
from office to office, which made reviewing legislation tedious and time
consuming,” said T.J. Robinson, director of
information systems for the House of Representatives. “With
CDW-G’s expert advice and services, including
custom software imaging, we were able to implement a mobile computing
solution that provides near-instant access to bills, amendments, and
related information, improving the legislative review process.”
The move to a digital, paperless House was driven by legislators’
desire for legislative information delivered in a more timely and
efficient manner. With the HP wireless notebook solution, legislators
can create and submit floor amendments electronically from virtually
anywhere with an Internet connection. This capability has reduced the
timeframe for submitting amendments from three days to 24 hours, further
speeding the legislative process.
“State and local governments across the
country are realizing the significant benefits of eliminating
paper-based processes in favor of anytime, anywhere access to
information,” said Jim Grass, CDW-G senior
director of state and local sales. “The
Oklahoma House of Representatives is a perfect example. Its wireless
computing technology is a win-win solution for both legislators and
citizens. Legislators are more productive and use taxpayer dollars more
effectively, and citizens have much greater visibility into the
legislative process.”
CDW-G partners with leading IT companies to deliver more than 100,000
products featuring top IT brands from more than 1,000 manufacturers,
providing state and local government customers with best-in-class
products and solutions.
