Votilogy
is a service of Extended Data Solutions, Inc.- a leading provider
of world-class web based system design, development and consulting
services to both businesses and political organizations. Our
goal at Extended Data Solutions is to leverage data and technology
to help our customers meet their objectives - whether it's winning
elections or winning new customers. In essence, we help our
customers set their static data....in motion.
Votilogy
was conceived and developed by Extended Data Solutions
professionals with deep expertise in corporate business
technologies and Customer Relationship Management (CRM).
We have delivered successful CRM solutions to Fortune
1000 corporations for the past decade. In late 2000,
our former CRM firm was successfully acquired by a national
venture funded firm. And now, we've applied our resources
and teamed with well known political experts to bring
this enterprise class of technology to leading campaigns
and political organizations.
For
the first time, political candidates and organizations
can analyze data, launch communications and track trends
with the same powerful technology utilized by corporate
marketing departments (rather than the low-end PC-based
"campaign planners" and "voter list organizers"
previously available). Votilogy was built from the ground
up to meet the needs of the political world. Rather
than re-packaging existing software or services, we
have engineered a highly scalable web-based data management
and variable data communications solution - all with
proprietary technologies. We call this application of
CRM technology to the political world "Voter Relationship
Management." To learn more about VRM, please click

Extended
Data Solutions is focused on delivering unsurpassed
client satisfaction and developing long-term, mutually
beneficial relationships. We serve as an ongoing resource
to customers with rapidly changing requirements. This
requires a true partnership with clients. Whether you
are a first time candidate or a seasoned politician,
