<p class="MsoNormal">In early 2011, the Oregon State Treasury began to make minor changes to our public facing website. More recently, we worked with the contractor hired as the statewide E-Government provider, NIC-USA, to implement even further modifications.
If you visit our website beginning today, you will see these changes. Notably, we have made changes to the site aimed at making navigation simpler for each of our customer groups. Agency staff should be able to more cleanly identify those services and programs
that serve you directly and be able to access information in a more user friendly method.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As with any project of this scale, it will not be completed overnight, and we are facing some of the same challenges that you may be with the website transition. We do hope, however, that the content changes you see will be viewed as an
improvement. You will notice that a number of pages are currently Under Construction. We will continue to make changes and add content to these pages over the next few months. We will also take this opportunity to review and update other existing website
materials including the Cash Management Manual and Cash Management Policies. Remember, as with many of the other state website pages, you may need to update any bookmarks that you previously had. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Customers can get to any number of services provided by the Finance Division via a couple of different methods:

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:38.25pt;text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">
<![if !supportLists]><span style="font-family:Symbol"><span style="mso-list:Ignore">·<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"">
</span></span></span><![endif]>On the Main banner, select the Divisions tab followed by Finance then select State Agencies (or one of the other “customer” options available). If you choose State Agencies, for example, you will then find a simple list of many
of the key services that you use on a regular basis. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:38.25pt;text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">
<![if !supportLists]><span style="font-family:Symbol"><span style="mso-list:Ignore">·<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"">
</span></span></span><![endif]>Under the State Treasury Customers banner in the middle of the page, select highlighted services underneath each customer type. If the service you are looking for isn’t available, select the More Services link for a list of select
services. You will also be able to navigate from here directly to Division pages by using the available links on the left navigation bar.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:2.25pt"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:2.25pt">There are a variety of other paths that can be selected from the Home page to the Finance Division (or other Division) services. Please take an opportunity to navigate your way through the new structure. See
what works and doesn’t for you. Please give us that feedback! We are committed to making this work for you and we can only address issues that we are made aware of.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Finally, during this transition period, if you have any questions about how to find something on our website or have comments on the new structure (including new or updated content that you would really like to see), please contact us at
503-378-4633. <o:p></o:p></p>
