ADVERTISEMENT NIC Portal solutions that save time & money for government corporateprofile eGovernment is our only business NIC helps government interact more effectively with citizens and businesses by putting essential services online. eGovernment is our only business, and we are the leading provider of official Web portals and payment processing solutions for government. Last year, NIC processed more than 145 million transactions and $4 billion in payments on behalf of government. Based in Kansas City, NIC is publicly held (NASDAQ: EGOV) and has 460 employees working in 24 states. Our core business — helping government save time & money NIC’s online services accelerate processing time for government transactions and generate cost savings for both agencies and constituents. We have been providing eGovernment portal services that deliver results for 16 years, starting with the nation’s first eGovernment portal solution for the state of Kansas in 1992. NIC currently provides enterprise portal management services for more than 2,900 federal, state, and local government agencies across the country. Zero cost self-funding contracts The transaction-based self-funding solution allows governments to provide an enterprise eGovernment portal at zero cost. NIC absorbs the costs of building the technical infrastructure and developing online services for government partners. Approved fees generated from select electronic transactions are then used to recoup initial development costs, enhance existing services, and launch new online solutions. In addition, more than 80 percent of the services we build are available at no cost to constituents. This proven 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. Delivering enterprise-wide solutions Managing a successful eGovernment portal involves much more than just technology implementation. NIC provides a comprehensive solution that allows an eGovernment portal to grow and thrive over time, including: • Flexible funding solutions • State & local collaboration • Security • Multi-agency services • Payment processing • Marketing • Political advocacy • Web design & usability • Market research • Customer service • Policy & legal support • Technical infrastructure • Project management • Measurement & accountability • Wikis, blogs, Flickr, Twitter, RSS feeds, Facebook & MySpace pages, interactive video, and other Web 2.0 solutions Get online, not in line With NIC’s eGovernment services, citizens and businesses can take advantage of timesaving online solutions.
