“This award from CEO Today is a great honor,” Herington said. “However, the real recognition goes to NIC’s incredibly dedicated employees. Throughout the pandemic, they have worked tirelessly to support our government partners as they continue to provide critical services to our communities across the United States.”

“Similar to many technology companies across the United States, NIC transitioned into an entirely remote workforce in early 2020.

In addition to the CEO Global award, NIC was also recently named to the Forbes 2021 America’s Best Small Companies list. Throughout 2020, NIC teams across the nation earned a total of 160 awards.
