Empower™
A one-click solution. ES&S’ Empower securely hosts, stores and manages data for millions of records, saving customers time, money and staff needed for web hosting management.

While some companies offer “cloud self-service” models that place the full burden of data management, security and compliance on their customers — leaving them to navigate the complexities of election data on their own — our team brings over 35 years of hosting experience to support you every step of the way. ES&S is committed to ensuring a seamless election process and providing comprehensive support for data storage and management. Key features include:
Dedicated environment used for election data alone
No data on a
public cloud
Monitored and secured by election professionals
