ARTICLE Outsourcing and consulting firm Accenture Ltd. said Monday it received a contract from a Norwegian government agency to continue developing and operating an online portal in the northern European country.
The Bronnoysund Register Centre gave a $44.4 million, three-year contract to Accenture (nyse: ACN - news - people ) to continue application development and management of the online portal.
Under the agreement, Accenture will implement a simplified user interface and provide advanced security, among other terms.
The Norwegian government created the Altinn portal service in 2002 to simplify interaction among the government, businesses and citizens. It enables businesses and citizens to communicate with government agencies.
“The Altinn II solution adopts a business and citizen-centric, value-driven approach that will continue to transform the way the Norwegian government interacts with both businesses and citizens,” Accenture spokesman Roy Gronli said in a statement.
The Altinn II contract has three one-year extensions.
