For the second year in a row, Arkansas Information Consortium, LLC
(AIC), the state’s official provider of digital government services, was
named one of the Best Places to Work in Arkansas in 2018. This annual
program, now in its sixth year, was created by Arkansas Business and
Best Companies Group.
The Best Places to Work in Arkansas survey and awards program was
designed to identify, recognize, and honor the best employers in
Arkansas that are benefitting the state’s economy, workforce, and
businesses. 40 companies were recognized this year, including the
Information Network of Arkansas.
“We are incredibly pleased to be selected as one of the best places to
work again this year,” AIC General Manager Bob Sanders said. “One of our
basic values is to be the best place our employees have ever worked. We
take that seriously because we believe happy employees are motivated to
produce high-quality work and to provide great customer service.
Receiving this recognition demonstrates that commitment and encourages
to continue our efforts at making AIC a great place to work.”
AIC is better known to its Arkansas government partners as the
Information Network of Arkansas (INA)—the Governor-appointed board that
oversees AIC’s contract with the state. Since AIC was awarded its first
digital government services contract with the state in 1997, the Little
Rock-based subsidiary of NIC Inc. has developed 850+ Arkansas government
websites and payment processing applications, grown from 4 to 36
employees, and created dozens of new technology jobs in Arkansas.
Companies were required to meet the following eligibility requirements
to be considered for participation:
Companies from across the state entered the two-part survey process to
determine the Best Places to Work in Arkansas. The two surveys gather
detailed data about each participating company. Best Companies Group
(BCG) conducts the surveys, analyzes the data and determines the winners
and rankings.
The overall winner and rankings will be revealed at a luncheon that will
take place on Thursday, September 27 at 11:30 am at Embassy Suites,
Little Rock.
