             NIC Wins West Virginia Web Portal Management Contract

                West Virginia Signs Self-Funding Portal Agreement

     CHARLESTON, W. Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 2, 2007--The state of West
Virginia finalized an agreement yesterday with eGovernment firm NIC (Nasdaq:
EGOV) to operate the state's official Web site, WV.gov (http://www.wv.gov), for
up to three years.

     "A world-class Web site is a competitive advantage for West Virginia," said
Gayle Conelly Manchin, chair of the West Virginia Management Steering Committee
and first lady of the state. "It will help the state retain and attract
companies, help our home-grown businesses to prosper and our residents to get
the service from government they expect in the 21st century. NIC was selected as
the private partner to help us make that happen."

     West Virginia issued its bid for eGovernment services in February 2007 and
awarded the contract to NIC from a competitive field. The contract is for one
year with two one-year renewal options, the maximum allowed by state law. The
state of West Virginia will retain ownership of the content, data and statutory
fees.

     "NIC will deploy the self-funded model to provide the infrastructure and
staff expertise required to develop, maintain and host the eGovernment portal,"
said NIC President Harry Herington. "We will hire additional employees over time
at our Charleston office to support the state's growing eGovernment operations."

     NIC expects to launch the first new services in late 2007, and it is
currently working with state agencies and the West Virginia Management Steering
Committee to identify and prioritize new applications to introduce in the
contract's first year. The company also will redesign the state's official Web
site and build upon the portal's existing functionality.

     "The state of West Virginia has high expectations for its Web site and for
the value it can bring to the state's residents and businesses," said Jeff
Fraser, NIC's chief executive officer. "We are honored that West Virginia's
leaders chose NIC as the best partner to bring their expectations to life."

     With the addition of the West Virginia contract, NIC now operates 21 state
portals serving more than 69 million residents.

     NIC will provide additional context and answer investor questions about
market dynamics and financial performance when it reports third-quarter
financial performance on November 7.
