- Research and service offers (e.g. timetable information, catalogs, databases, model computers)
- Purchase and transaction offers (e.g. bookings, reservations, payments)

BEE competition 2009
In the 2009 competition, the first prize, the BIENE in gold, was awarded to the Internet site of the Manufactum department store. The requirements for the awards have been increased. While in the early years the focus was more on meeting technical standards of accessibility, this year the winners were challenged on the technical level as well as in terms of design and content. In contrast to previous years, the award winners were less likely to be found at the large public institutions and authorities that are legally obliged to make them accessible. According to the press spokesman, they would wait for the new version of the BITV. In contrast, a number of municipal providers were among the winners this year. The winners were selected from over 300 nominations.
