Case Study: Elections Saskatchewan achieves cloud scalability and real-time results (33,000 page views on election day) with Adxstudio Portals

Built for Growth, Elections Saskatchewan’s Website Scales to 33 Thousand Page Views on Election Day

Elections Saskatchewan, the Office of the Chief Electoral Officer, faced a dated, hard-to-maintain website and database that made it difficult for voters to find polling stations, required manual result updates, lacked mobile and social capabilities, and relied on slow, manual hiring processes to staff up to 10,000 temporary election officials.

Adxstudio and Brown Communications implemented Adxstudio Portals integrated with Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online, Windows Azure, SQL Azure and Bing Maps to deliver a mobile-friendly site with a two-click constituency locator, automated job applications, real-time results, and social integration. The cloud-based solution scaled from routine traffic to 33,000 visitors on election day, cut maintenance from days to minutes, improved communications and reduced costs.
