ADVERTISEMENT BearingPoint New Thinking for State and Local Governments. corporateprofile ow, more than ever, state and local government decision makers are turning to technology as they improve performance, identify efficiencies, deliver better service, strengthen constituent satisfaction and remain competitive in today’s global environment. New systems, however, typically bring new challenges. What is the best way to implement? How do you leverage existing systems and link them with new technologies to create better, more accountable services while also showing a clear return on investment? Today’s State and Local Governments demand new thinking — and BearingPoint delivers it. For more than 30 years, our team of passionate, innovative professionals have been rolling up their sleeves and helping our clients solve their most pressing challenges. Some of our recent projects include: • Working with the Texas Department of Information Resources to create TexasOnline™, the official portal for the State of Texas. TexasOnline™, one of the largest state government portals, has generated more than 90 million transactions and $8.5B in agency revenue since its inception in December, 2000. • Implementing BearingPoint’s Pension Administration Solution (BPAS) for the Employees’ Retirement System of Georgia (ERS). This system increased efficiency, improved productivity and gave members greater freedom to manage their own retirement benefits. ERS can now manage its workload more effectively while providing better customer service, and is rapidly evolving into an industry-leading retirement organization. • Helping Minnesota’s Unemployment Insurance Program improve efficiency by implementing self-service portals for employers and claimants. The results: Elimination of a 60-90 day backlog of over 50,000 Wage Detail and Tax Reports. Today, approximately 130,000 employers and third-party administrators now file wages and pay their taxes online. And, 87% of unemployment insurance benefits claims are now filed online. Delivering modernized solutions to various motor vehicle agencies across the U.S., including two of the most populous states, California and Texas. Our customers are processing nearly 14 million transactions annually. Working with a governmental organization on a Tax and Revenue Management project that is on track to realize $905 million in incremental revenues and that has improved customer service by reducing wait times by more than 80%. Giving citizens online access to search New York City property records and view deeds and mortgages from their homes. Helping Pennsylvania implement a tailored enterprise solution that touches many facets of business operations in more than 50 agencies across the state. BearingPoint’s policies and practices reflect our passion for public service. Our employees give back to the communities where they live and work by volunteering for countless organizations around the world. And we’re committed to green initiatives: Our goal is to become “carbon neutral” no later than 2012 — starting with reducing electricity and water consumption and increasing participation in workfrom-home and telecommuting programs.
