CCIS awarded multi-year development and support contract with the North Dakota Secretary of State designed to assist the citizens’ interactions with their government

Raleigh, NC -- (ReleaseWire) -- 09/12/2008 -- CC Intelligent Solutions (CCIS), a Raleigh, North Carolina IT solutions developer and the State of North Dakota announce the award of a multi-year development and support contract for CCIS to work with the Secretary of State’s Office. This work will focus on making North Dakota a national leader in cooperating with businesses and citizens so they can file, manage and research corporate filings, registrations, UCC filings and other administrative tasks and documents online in an easy, 24x7 manner. The system will also significantly streamline the State’s internal operations and allow its staff to focus on more complex constituent needs.

As a key component of this effort, CCIS is providing North Dakota with their cGov360™ platform, which is a highly configurable solution that will help the State cost-effectively build and maintain an online filing presence. This engine uses a 360° solutions approach, which has been developed over the years with CCIS’ military and federal government clients and is currently being leveraged with other state clients, such as the District of Columbia.

“North Dakota selected CCIS after an extensive evaluation process. After seeing their system, talking with some of their other government clients and listening to their ideas for how we can expand our services online, we chose CCIS,” said Alvin A. (Al) Jaeger, North Dakota Secretary of State. “We are excited about this opportunity because cGov360™ will streamline the relationship between business and government in North Dakota and provide business intelligence tools not previously available in the state." We look forward to making North Dakota better for business,” added Chip Bullock, CEO of CCIS.
