Nicom Ltd. and Novus Consulting Group Join Forces With National Firms
For Immediate Release
Halifax, NS - November 25, 2002
Two Halifax based consulting firms, Novus Consulting Group and Nicom Ltd., have signed a memorandum of understanding with two Ottawa based consulting firms, The Halifax Group and Transpolar Technology Corporation, to work as a team towards obtaining business targeting the federal government's $5 billion Government On-Line initiative.
A speech from the Throne set the ambitious target of "By 2004, our goal is to be known around the world as the government most connected to its citizens, with Canadians able to access all government information and services online at the time and place of their choosing". This initiative is now known as Government On-Line (GOL). It is anticipated that the federal government will spend $5 billion over the next three to five years with suppliers on this initiative.
Many of the GOL projects will require a wide-variety of skill-sets and experience levels. "By combining our resources, we feel we can provide a very comprehensive and experienced team to any GOL project" said David Nicholson, President of Nicom Ltd.
To be eligible to work on GOL projects, each of the firms had to pass a very extensive pre-qualification process that ensures the firm has the skills, experience, and procedures necessary to successfully implement projects of this nature.
