The National Association of Counties (NACo) recently recognized the Chester County Department of Computing and Information Services (DCIS) as a 2024 Achievement Award recipient for its "Chester County GIS Productivity Tools and Applications" project. DCIS developed a series of geographic information systems (GIS) tools for use by staff members across county government departments that may not only increase productivity, but may also reduce, and in some instances eliminate, unnecessary costs.

Chester County was also lauded by NACo and the Center for Digital Government for maintaining its top-ten digital ranking for counties with populations between 500,000 and 999,999. In reviewing Chester County's efforts to improve its digital, citizen, and government experience through technology and leadership, the judges noted DCIS' upskilling of existing staff members, providing new opportunities for innovation, and work with all county departments to identify challenges where tech solutions can help.
