ChoicePoint Joins EzGov's FlexAlliance Partnership Program

ATLANTA – EzGov, Inc., a software company focused on transforming the business of government, today announced that ChoicePoint has joined EzGov’s FlexAlliance™ partner program as a technology partner. ChoicePoint, based in Alpharetta, Ga., is the leading provider of identification and credential verification services.

ChoicePoint and EzGov will integrate ChoicePoint’s solutions into applications built on EzGov’s FlexFoundation™ platform, allowing government agencies to quickly and cost effectively automate manual processes in such areas as benefits administration, revenue collection and licensing and credentialing.

“For years, ChoicePoint data has helped government agencies manage risk as well as reduce fraud and abuse across a broad range of disciplines, from law enforcement and national security to debt collection and entitlements delivery,” said David Keil, general manager of ChoicePoint’s Government Services Group. “This partnership provides more options for our public sector customers to leverage data to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of their operations.”

“ChoicePoint and EzGov are a powerful combination,” said Ed Trimble, EzGov chief executive officer. “ChoicePoint’s public records data allows a government agency to quickly and accurately verify the identity of an applicant before issuing a benefit, such as a license, passport or Medicaid payment. By integrating ChoicePoint data into an application built on our FlexFoundation platform, agencies can automate many of their manual data capture and validation processes, enabling their personnel to focus on handling cases. We look forward to working with ChoicePoint to develop solutions for our government customers that increase agency productivity and improve service to their constituents.”

EzGov and ChoicePoint are jointly pursuing several opportunities with state and federal agency initiatives.

FlexFoundation
FlexFoundation is a robust platform that offers a true end-to-end solution for automating government business transaction processes. It reduces the risk and cost typically associated with the development of transactional government applications. Because it is platform independent and built on open standards, FlexFoundation allows government agencies to utilize existing technology investments and maintain their own internal processes. Its product functionality allows developers to create agency specific applications more quickly and with less risk than traditional custom application development.

More than 100 transactional government applications have been built and deployed on FlexFoundation. Version 3.0, announced earlier this year, features a new integrated team-based development environment and easy-to-use interface that enables less technical resources to develop custom solutions.

FlexAlliance
The FlexAlliance partner program gives EzGov partners the sales, marketing, and development tools they need to implement technology solutions built on FlexFoundation. The program helps FlexAlliance partners win new business, deliver high-quality solutions on time and on budget, and build opportunities for repeat business with existing customers.
