BARCELONA, Spain & MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.--()--Scytl, the worldwide leader in election modernization, online voting and eGovernance technology, once again receives leading industry expert recognition for its end-to-end eDemocracy platform. The recent Frost & Sullivan 2014 Global Award for Competitive Strategy Innovation and Leadership awarded to Scytl recognizes the company as a leader not only for the its investment in R&D, resulting in the most secure platform, but also for its unique growth strategy comprising of organic and inorganic growth, and its innovative pricing strategy by introducing both software as a service (SaaS) and on-premises models.

“Scytl´s closest competitors either do not have access to a large patent portfolio or are regional players. Scytl, on the other hand, has an impressive list of global customers, such as the government bodies in France, Norway, Switzerland and Australia,” says Frost & Sullivan Global Program Director Jean-Noël Georges.

Remarkably, Scytl is the only provider of a complete platform of online voting, election modernization and eGovernance solutions. Scytl´s platform-based approach affords it greater flexibility in meeting specific client requirements. Its solution is supported by the integration of independent modules that allow customized offerings. Scytl supports two different platform deployment options, software as a service (SaaS) and on-premise models, which facilitate the integration and potential upgrades.

“Another attractive feature of Scytl´s product strategy is its pay-per-use pricing. It has a relatively low entry cost and permits clients to scale up according to their needs,” noted Georges. “It also adheres to the latest security recommendations to support online authentication and provide total transparency. Moreover, it is certified by many governments, ministries and commissions.”

Remarkably, Scytl is the only provider of a complete portfolio of online voting, and election modernization and eGovernance solutions. Customers can select the modules they want integrated into the core platform and plug the products that align with their needs into the core system. Additionally, they can easily access the platform and activate or deactivate the modules.
