In fact, election day is a day of celebration, when the entire community becomes involved in the Eternal City's future. The ability to tap into election information from virtually anywhere enables Rome's citizens to be more involved in the election process. That is, until Unisys helped the city conduct the world's first elections for which results were tallied in real-time and posted on the Internet immediately after the polls closed. True to its inventive heritage, the city knew the Internet was the ideal tool for publishing election results. The challenge was making mainframe-based election data available on the Web.
Citizens now get real-time information.
And the city doesn't have to handle constant requests for election results. Maurizio Ferro, Gianfranco Buonocore, and Sandro De Leo. And elections are just the beginning. All rights reserved.
