Raptor Gains Honorable Mention in GCN Award Competition

Raptor, the new search engine of the USGS-National Biological Information Infrastructure (NBII), has just been recognized and honored as one of ten 2010 Honorable Mention Winners in the 23rd Annual Government Computer News (GCN) Awards for Outstanding Information Technology Achievement in Government. Winners of the prestigious GCN awards are announced annually by Government Computer News, the online authority for government IT professionals. The award recognizes outstanding government agency IT achievement. In particular, it gives visibility to agency IT teams whose innovation or achievements using technology during the past 12 months have made a significant impact on the performance of their agencies or the services they provide. The award is based on group performance rather than the accomplishment of a single individual. A distinguished panel of judges made up of current and former government IT officials also looked for innovation and technology leadership in selecting this year’s winners. All of the GCN winners will be featured in a special report in the October 18, 2010, issue of Government Computer News.
