CIBER Begins Information Technology Project With Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection

HARTFORD, Conn. (Map) - HARTFORD, Conn., March 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- CIBER, Inc. (NYSE: CBR) today announced that it was awarded a $2 million, six-year contract in January with the state of Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) to implement a Web-based Air Emissions Inventory System to help the state monitor and manage pollutants regulated under the U.S. Clean Air Act. The new system will replace a custom-built IT system that relies on older technology and that has been in use at the department for many years. The new system will offer the advantages of updated technology, and will automate numerous manual, paper-based data collection processes.

The attention on global climate change and evolving federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations are putting greater pressure on all states to more efficiently and cost effectively monitor and report on environmental concerns. The air quality solutions that CIBER develops for states help streamline processes, reduce costs, and increase regulatory compliance and visibility.

For Connecticut, CIBER will provide project management, analysis, design, development, and implementation services. Connecticut's new Air Emissions Inventory System will be based on one that CIBER built and implemented at the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, the third largest air quality program in the nation. Using Microsoft .NET technology, the system offers a greenhouse gas inventory system and comprehensive reporting of industrial, area, and mobile emissions.

The new system provides a comprehensive inventory that will integrate with the department's existing IT system, as well as with the federal EPA's IT systems. It will support public inquiries -- via the Internet -- into emissions data, and offers flexibility and scalability so it can evolve with the department's programs and changing state and federal regulations.

"Our ten years of experience helping the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection have shown us the challenges and intricacies that state environmental agencies face in this area," said Ed Burns, President of CIBER's State and Local Government Division. "Managing environmental data and relationships with regulated facilities -- such as utilities and manufacturing plants -- is a big challenge for any state, and even more challenging with budget cuts and changing regulations. We're honored that CIBER was recognized as a leader in this area, and have been trusted with Connecticut's important environmental mission."
