Digital government solutions
firm NIC Inc. (Nasdaq: EGOV) has been named to the Forbes 2021
America’s Best Small Companies list. The honor comes after a year
in which NIC developed more than 130 technology solutions to help
government move services online due to the COVID-19 pandemic,
manage pandemic unemployment assistance in the Commonwealth of
Virginia, provide secure and reliable COVID-19 testing to more than
400,000 people across six states and deploy online appointment
scheduling for COVID-19 vaccines and other government
services.
“This recognition from Forbes
is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our NIC family,
who have been laser-focused on helping our valued government
partners in the midst of a pandemic,” said Harry Herington, NIC CEO
and Chairman of the Board. “In 2020, we developed solutions that
enabled government to connect citizens and businesses to critical
services, including pandemic unemployment assistance and COVID-19
testing. That dedication continues in 2021, as we expand our
solutions to include COVID-19 vaccine scheduling and leveraging
technology to provide remote access to vital government
services.”
With headquarters in Olathe,
Kansas, and offices in more than 30 states, NIC partners with more
than 7,000 federal, state and local government agencies across the
nation to make government interactions more accessible for all
through technology. In its nearly 30 years, the company has
developed more than 17,000 digital solutions, spanning the areas of
payments, licensing, business filings, outdoor recreation, health
care and enterprise technology services. In 2020, NIC securely
processed 400 million online transactions and more than $24 billion
on behalf of government agencies.
According to
Forbes, the America’s Best
Small Companies list was compiled using data from FactSet. Forbes
screened companies with a market value between $300 million and $2
billion, positive sales growth over the past 12 months and a share
price of at least $5. The rankings are based on earnings growth and
sales growth for the latest 12 months and over 5 years, one-year
and 5-year return on equity and 52-week total return. More weight
was given to the latest 12-month and 1-year data in the
rankings.
