Today, Civix provides software to over 100 airports and 90 percent of\nU.S. nuclear power plants as well as solutions that manage records for more\nthan 25 percent of U.S. registered voters, business services for nearly half of\nthe country\u2019s Secretaries of State, and hundreds of billions of dollars in\nfederal grants. The company\u2019s technology products are backed by a deep bench of\nleading subject matter experts across a range of areas, including airport\noperations, information technology, disaster recovery, and community planning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In recent years, the company has expanded its public sector\nofferings through strategic acquisitions of three companies with strong\nlegacies and market share: PCC Technology, Inc., MB3, and Quest Information\nSystems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With a growing team of some 400 professionals located across\noffices that span six U.S. states (CT, FL, IN, LA, OH, and VA) as well as\nMonterrey, Mexico and Ontario, Canada, Civix is now organized into three\ndiscrete business units: Transportation, Government, and Grants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With implementations across 33 states, Civix Government,\nformerly known as PCC, is a leading provider of software for state and local\ngovernments and the premier provider of solutions for Secretaries of State.\nThis year, the business unit named a new president, Mike Wons, hired new vice\npresidents of development and of IT security, added dozens of developers and\nengineers, and revamped its client success team. Earlier this month, it opened\na new Center of Excellence that will serve as a centralized hub for innovation\nin GovTech.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe are entering a new era of technological advancement, and\nCivix will lead the way in reimagining how governments serve constituents and\nbusinesses,\u201d said Wons. \u201cWe are laser-focused on developing a common industry\nplatform that uses advanced technology to provide a modern, simpler user\nexperience.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Civix also leads in the transportation industry as a\nprovider of solutions that make airports and transit systems more efficient,\nprofitable, and secure. Civix Transportation\u2019s team of former industry\nexecutives, developers, and systems architects serve the Federal Aviation\nAdministration, state aeronautics departments, and more than 100 individual\nairports worldwide, including the Houston Airport System, Hartsfield-Jackson\nAtlanta International, John F. Kennedy International Airport, and San Francisco\nInternational Airport, as well as a number of transit agencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNo one knows the aviation industry like our team, and we\u2019re\ncontinuing to expand and apply that knowledge in adjoining areas, as we have\nwith transit systems,\u201d said Tim Walsh, the president of Civix Transportation.\n\u201cOur rebrand to Civix is emblematic of the alignment that has taken place to\nconnect technologies and experts across fields to tackle the biggest challenges\nand drive innovation. The sky\u2019s the limit.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Civix Grants provides a powerful suite of technology\nproducts augmented by a talented multidisciplinary team specializing in grants\nmanagement and compliance as well as policy, planning and analytics. As former\nstate government grant and program administrators, best-in-class workflow\ndevelopers, and planning experts, they bring experience, lessons learned, and best\npractices from administering and implementing over $200 billion in federal\ngrants on behalf of communities across the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cCommunities turn to us in the aftermath of disasters to\nhelp them overcome devastation and transition to rebuilding, recovery, and\nopportunity,\u201d said Angele Romig, the president of Civix Grants. \u201cWe take our\ncommitment to them to heart, and as Civix, we are expanding and strengthening\nthe products and services that sustain and empower governments.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Folded into this business unit is the company formerly known\nas MB3, which provides the only comprehensive grant management system designed\nspecifically for State Emergency Management agencies. It manages tens of\nbillions of dollars and has been used by states across the U.S. in some of the\nlargest disasters in recent history including Superstorm Sandy and Hurricane\nKatrina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOur evolution to Civix is a major leap forward that\npositions us for greater impact in the communities we serve,\u201d said Matt\nBlakely, the CTO of Civix who founded and was CEO of MB3. \u201cThe name change\nreflects our business units coming together to form one organization with a\ncommon mission, culture, and standard of operation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Several of the company\u2019s industry leading software\nsolutions, such as AirportIQ, ElectionNet, and EMGrantsPro, will also undergo\nname changes while maintaining the same or seeing improved levels of\nfunctionality and quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Civix is an HKW portfolio-company that combines Civix\u2019s\nestablished leadership and track record for excellence with HKW\u2019s collaborative\napproach, providing support by contributing essential resources, knowledge, and\nstrategic insights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More information on Civix and its products and services can be found at <a href=\"http:\/\/gocivix.com\">gocivix.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>GCR Inc. has announced that it and its subsidiaries, PCC Technology, Inc. and MB3, have rebranded as Civix.
