BearingPoint Awarded $14.1 Million eGov Contract by California Department of Motor Vehicles

BearingPoint Inc., one of the world's largest management and technology consulting firms, today announced it has been awarded a $14.1 million two-year contract from the California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) to design, implement and support a new Web portal for the department. The new portal will improve the overall DMV experience for California residents, and will help the state address the Real ID Act, a federally-mandated program to standardize state driver's licensing and other state identification.

California's DMV is the nation's largest motor vehicle department, issuing more than eight million drivers' licenses and identification cards annually. The DMV also sends 90 million pieces of mail, issues or renews more than 33 million vehicle registrations and fulfills 135 million requests for information per year. The new DMV online portal will ensure that constituents have access to information and services online through an easy-to-use and comprehensive Web site. As an added benefit to residents, the system will reduce the need to physically visit DMV locations, reducing crowding and wait times.

"BearingPoint has had unprecedented success and experience in the area of integrated government solutions, including top-rated Web portals for citizen services," said Gary Miglicco, vice president of BearingPoint's National Motor Vehicle practice. "This project will help make California's new DMV Web portal a more secure, intuitive, and time-saving tool for residents."
