Supporting Open Government

NIC uses technology to help governments be more transparent and responsive to their constituents.

NIC has spent the last 20 years using technology to help make our government partners more responsive to the constituents they serve. Our online transparency solutions help federal, state, and local government leaders provide real-time access to important government information and services.

NIC's government partnerships have produced a series of unique eTransparency services, including:

• State transparency sites provide an expanded view of the budgeting process, appropriation information, agency spending, and types of revenues and expenses.
• Campaign finance disclosure services offer searchable views of campaign finance contributions and expenditures reported by candidates and political action committees.
• Lobbyist reporting allows users to search for lobbyists as well as their employers and expenditure reports.
• Legislative tracking allows users to monitor specific pieces of legislation, receive daily activity e-mail updates, and access RSS feeds of legislative news.

The One-Stop eGovernment Transparency Resource

NIC built the nation's largest eGovernment transparency site, Transparent-Gov, to track open government initiatives across the United States. Accessible via the Web and mobile, the site delivers up-to-the-minute information on federal, state, and local eTransparency initiatives nationwide.
