(NYSE:BE), one of the world's largest management and technology consulting firms, announced it has won the Center for Digital Government's 2008 Best Fit Integrator Award for the development of TexasOnline, an integrated Web portal and eCommerce solution that is the official government website for the State of Texas.
TexasOnline (www.texasonline.com) is a nationally recognized example of a public-private collaboration that delivers State services to the public. Since 2000, BearingPoint has worked closely with the Texas Department of Information Resources to build an innovative, cost-effective, online portal that integrates state and local government into a "one-stop-shop" for residents.
BearingPoint's innovative approach to e-government technology has created
significant strategic, financial and operational value for the State of Texas and its residents. This award recognizes the sustained, exceptional efforts of BearingPoint's work.
Executive Vice President of the Center, Cathilea Robinett, said in an announcement touting the awards that "IT partnerships between state and local government and the private sector are vital for advancements in digital government. As such, we are thrilled to acknowledge these companies for the stellar work they've done to improve technology in order for government to better serve its citizens."
"We are honored that TexasOnline continues to be recognized as one of the most advanced public sector web portals," said Gary Miglicco, vice president of BearingPoint's state and local eGovernment Services. "We've worked hard to maintain the unique public-private collaboration with Texas that has allowed us to build over 800 online services and programs without any direct government investment. The continued recognition over the years is validation that we are meeting the needs of the State and the people of Texas."
The Best Fit Integrator awards allow public sector IT entities from across the nation to nominate technology integrators who had partnered with them on exceptional projects. The nominations were then carefully evaluated by experts at the Center of Digital Government.
