NIC’s Maryland subsidiary, the State of Maryland's eGov Services
Partner, has earned the prestigious Best Fit Integrator Award by
eRepublic's Center for Digital Government. The award honors
exceptional private-sector technology partners that tailor
solutions to meet the unique needs of government. NIC Maryland was
one of only seven companies nationally to receive the coveted
award. Nominated by the Department of Business and Economic
Development, NIC Maryland won the Collaboration Award for their
role in developing the Maryland Central Business Licensing &
Registration Portal (CBL) that has reduced the new business
registration approval process from 10 weeks to one business day.
The CBL Portal is a collaborative effort among NIC Maryland and
five state departments that has processed more than 50,000 online
filings with adoption rates among new businesses of nearly 70
percent.
"Our team at NIC Maryland is honored to be nominated by our
Maryland partner and to accept the Best Fit Integrator Award from
the Center for Digital Government. Through this public-private
partnership, we've developed an integrated one-stop business filing
solution to make it easier and faster to start a new business in
our state. We look forward to our continued partnership with the
state of Maryland and thank all those involved in this initiative,"
said Janet Grard, President and General Manager of NIC
Maryland.
The Central Business Licensing and Registration Portal is a
one-stop business portal that streamlines the new registration and
filing process for business owners. Prior to the online portal,
starting a new business required a visit to multiple agencies to
file paperwork. Now, owners can create legal entities, obtain
certified copies, file trade names, establish tax accounts and file
annual personal property tax returns online through the portal.
The CBL Portal was developed at no cost to the state under the
Department of Information Technology’s Self-Funded eGovernment
Services master contract, with a market value of $1.4 million and a
cost avoidance of $12.2 million for the state. The portal is
available through the State’s official website, www.maryland.gov or
by visiting www.egov.maryland.gov/easy.
The Central Business Licensing and Registration Portal is a
collaborative effort between the Maryland Department of Information
Technology, the Maryland Department of Business and Economic
Development, the Comptroller of Maryland and the Maryland State
Department of Assessments and Taxation. The CBL Portal was
developed at no charge for the State of Maryland by NIC Maryland,
through the self-funded eGovernment services contract with the
State Department of Information Technology (DoIT).
