To support the unique needs of government partners, NIC has developed several innovative solutions to fund eGovernment services. NIC has successfully implemented fee-based, blended funding, and transaction-based solutions for its federal, state, and local government partners. The transaction-based approach encourages NIC and its government partners to develop online services that constituents demand — and to invest in marketing activities that will drive higher usage of the online service delivery channel. NIC absorbs the costs of building the technical infrastructure and developing online services for its government partners. Approved fees applied to select electronic transactions are then used to recoup initial development costs, enhance existing services, and launch new online solution on behalf of our government partners. Delivering enterprise solutions Managing a successful eGovernment portal involves much more than just technology implementation. NIC delivers the diverse elements that allow an eGovernment portal to grow and thrive over time, including: • Flexible funding solutions • Policy & legal support • Political advocacy • Cross-jurisdictional collaboration • Measurement & accountability • Marketing • Public relations • Market research • Web design • Usability & accessibility • Customer service • Training • Project management • Financial processing • Application development • Security • Technical infrastructure The NIC difference NIC is unique because of its dedication to serving government partners: Experience — NIC developed the first enterprisewide government portal and manages more official government Web sites than any other company. Focus — NIC focuses exclusively on the eGovernment space. As eGovernment specialists, the company’s employees have spent 15 years working alongside government partners to build portal solutions that deliver results. Trust — NIC created the public-private partnership model in 1992 and is committed to being the best business partner governments have ever worked with. Adaptability — One size does not fit all. NIC specializes in designing customized eGovernment solutions that meet the unique technological, political, financial, and customer service requirements of each government partner. corporateprofile DEC_07 Our core business — outsourced eGovernment portals For 15 years, NIC has been delivering eGovernment portal services that get results — starting with the nation’s first eGovernment portal for the state of Kansas in 1992.
