1. Politics
(pushing through bureaucracy) |
This will be the major task of our marketing and legal departments. We will start with one state then move on as acceptance grows |
|
2. Compliance with state laws & other voting machines |
Similar to above, legal and marketing teams will include highly skilled and experienced lobbiests
The compatibility issue will be solved by the modularity of our design |
|
3. Proving it is better than existing system |
This will be apparent when our product goes to the certification phase. Not only does our machine provide an easier interface, it is more secure as well |
4. Price |
Our product comes in at a lower cost that our competition plus surpasses them in terms of ease of use and security |
5. Ease of Use
(training) |
Touch screen, clear instructions,
Confirmation Screen, multilanguage support,
Only one technical support person needed for several
precincts to program in election information. |
|
6. Making it Upgradeable |
Modular design supports punch-card, optical, internet voting
Current design leaves room for expandability by using plug-in modules |
|
7. Security of voter database |
Our network will use a strong encryption scheme and minimize online time to reduce threat to voter database |
|
8. Initial access to voter database |
Once the system is adopted by a location we will receive the same database information already in use |
|
9. Competition |
Since the recent election the market is enormous and our product will clearly be dominant when compared by feature |
|
10. Power Backup |
Most voting locations already have redundant power systems
(generators, batteries, etc.)
Intellection could offer these as options if needed |
|

We currently have several strong possibilities in the form of parent companies to provide funding |
|
12. Storage |
