DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION

Best Intranet Usage
Simpplr Excellence Award
The California DMV created a state-of-the-art intranet system that revolutionizes the employee experience, internal communication, and access to timely and relevant information.
The new intranet provides a centralized resource for team members that results in a more efficient, engaged, and informed workforce.
Innovative Use of Data Analytics
LA Fire Vehicle Data Sharing
The DMV Investigations Division partnered with the department’s Information Services Division to create a Fire Disaster Response web application that streamlined data sharing with fellow state response teams during the January 2025 Palisades and Eaton wildfires.
This state-of-the-art solution merged DMV vehicle registration records with CalFire’s damage data, which allowed for real-time inspections and seamless data sharing across responding agencies.
Excellence in Customer Experience
The Personalized MyDMV Revolution
The new, personalized MyDMV Experience with The Garage feature integrated a range of technologies and human-centered design processes to modernize the way Californians interact with DMV services.
The project combined personalization, modular technology, and rapid innovation cycles, while maintaining security, scalability, and accessibility to deliver a faster and easier DMV experience that is intelligent and inclusive.
