Idaho Awards New Digital Government Contract to
NIC Company
The State of Idaho Information Technology Services has awarded
Idaho Information Consortium (IIC), an NIC company, a two-year
contract with two additional one-year extension options.
IIC has partnered with the state since 1999 to provide digital
government solutions to citizens, businesses and visitors across
Idaho. The company provides nearly 300 digital services through
Access Idaho to make government interactions more accessible and
convenient.
“The state of Idaho has been focused on driving innovative
government throughout the 20 years of our partnership,” said Jeff
Walker, IIC’s President and General Manager. “Idaho has been
recognized as providing best-in-class digital government service
year after year, and we look forward to helping them continue that
trend.”
The new agreement allows IIC to continue improving on previous
services and to include new services based on state and local
government agencies’ evolving needs. Citizens most often interact
with Access Idaho services when conveniently completing tasks
online, like renewing their vehicle registration. Government
entities are most familiar with the suite of payment services IIC
provides.
“NIC is passionate about being a partner, not a vendor,” said
Harry Herington, NIC’s CEO and Chairman of the Board. “We are
honored to work with the state of Idaho as it continues to create
award-winning solutions that benefit state and local government
constituents.”
Access Idaho services have been recognized for a variety of
digital government awards. Most recently, the Prompt Pay solution
was selected as one of 30 finalists across 10 categories by the
National Association of State Chief Information Officers as a
finalist for the 2019 NASCIO State IT Recognition Awards. Prompt
Pay gives citizens the ability pay for government services from a
link sent directly through text message or email. This technology
allows government employees to avoid handling sensitive payment
information, which reduces data risks.
In 2018, Prompt Pay was also named a Government Experience Award
winner on the national scene. The service is currently in its
testing phase in three other states.
Overall, Idaho Interactive has received 15 total awards since
the company’s inception in 1999, successfully processed 8 million
secure transactions and worked with 336 government partners.
