Online voting is yet another example of how the Internet is being effectively leveraged to streamline complex business processes , said Dale Miller , founder of eBallot.net.Many people don't realize that computers have been used for decades to help automate the way elections are administered behind the scenes.The next generation of online voting applications will not only fundamentally change the way people vote , but will also present diverse market segments such as unions , co-ops , and non-profits with better , more efficient ways to communicate with their constituents..
Since entering the iStart Ventures acceleration facilities , eBallot.net has dramatically ramped up its operations by hiring key management and development staff , escalated product development , initiated fundraising efforts , and has been actively working to establish partnerships across the elections industry.iStart Ventures provides eBallot.net and its other portfolio companies with standard incubation resources ( i.e. , office space , computers , infrastructure , etc. ) and complements those resources with an array of value-added services that include capital management , human resources , marketing , information systems , and research and analysis.
