Brook Group Returns to Justice

Ellicott City, MD, June 22, 2004 — Brook Group, LTD in alliance with Aspen Systems, Inc., is the winning team on the National Criminal Justice Reference Service 2008 contract, a five year, 71 million dollar services and consulting contract.

“This is an exciting alliance.  Aspen Systems and Brook Group share a commitment to excellence in our business innovation and client care. This team will produce impressive results for the NCJRS,” said Brook Group President Kara Brook.

The contract was awarded from a field of very strong competitors. Brook Group will support Aspen Systems’ work in analysis, consulting and development services by bringing a fresh set of highly trained eyes to the project. Brook Group offers unique strengths to the team with their specializations in creative site design, usability enhancements and Section 508 compliance.

“This is a great opportunity to resume working with the Department of Justice,” said Brook. “We have worked with them since 1996, providing brand identity services, Web site design and development, and content management software. It’s always a pleasure to return to our friends at DOJ.”

In 1996, Brook Group developed a brand identity campaign for the DOJ to establish an overall visual look and feel for the department. “The brand called Justice” is still in use today. Since that time, Brook Group has led the DOJ through numerous Web site projects. In September 2001, Brook Group was proud to assist DOJ’s Office for Victims of Crime by developing a communications Web site for victims and families of the September 11 terrorist attacks. In 2002, the DOJ adopted Brook Group’s highly acclaimed Tacklebox® content management system for their Office of Justice Programs intranet.

Aspen Systems, Inc., is a leading information management company that offers business process and technology solutions to government and commercial sectors.
