Worst Job in Political Campaigning Just Got Easier
SAN JOSE, Calif. - (BUSINESS WIRE) - Finally, campaigns of all sizes will be able to input and manage voter
information as it's collected by volunteers on the street with a new
mobile canvassing system called iCanvassing made possible by Smartphones
and cloud computing.
Using iCanvassing on their mobile devices, canvassers can log donations,
count their supporters and update contact information as they knock on
doors. The advanced mobile canvassing technology stealthily under
development in Silicon Valley for the past few years is now ready to be
introduced for campaigns to use as the 2010 election season heats up.
iCanvassing combines cloud computing-web-based storage accessible via
any Internet connected device-with BlackBerry, Android, iPhone and other
popular Smartphones to give users the tools to collect, sort, store,
share, protect and utilize accurate data on voters and supporters while
on the move. In addition to political campaigns, iCanvassing can be
utilized for fundraising, public awareness outreach and targeted
business sales efforts.
"This is overdue and brings together the exploding capabilities of
Smartphones and the advantages of cloud computing. Now any political,
non-profit, education or business campaign has within its reach an
extremely affordable tool for grassroots canvassing with total real-time
control over data," said Norman Kline, the founder of iCanvassing.
iCanvassing enables users to create and build multiple campaigns, add
contacts to campaigns and assign them to canvassers who use Smartphones
to enter data from anywhere while managers track their canvassing
efforts in real time. iCanvassing is offering free trials to active
campaigns, and upgrades are available for professional accounts.
Kline, whose background includes careers at Lockheed Martin Missiles and
Space and Apple Inc., is also the founder and CEO of LibraryWorld Inc.,
a 20-year-old corporation that is a worldwide leader in automating
libraries around the globe.
