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.
Take control. Partner with ES&S.
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 for election data
- No outsourcing to a non-election platform
- No data on a public cloud
- No on-premise data management
Is Empower a cloud solution?
No. ES&S’ Empower solution offers the convenience and cost-effectiveness of a cloud solution, without compromising on the security of your data.
