| DEC has
extensive experience providing support to counties, states and schools during the
redistricting and reprecincting processes. DEC's redistricting product has been used in
over 35 states, as well as many counties, planning commissions and school districts. Given the complexities and the political
nature of any redistricting process, and in order to provide clients with optimum support
during the data development and implementation phases of redistricting/reprecincting
projects, DEC has developed a formalized project management process. The key goals of the
project management procedures are to: 1) Keep the project schedule, 2) Keep the client
informed, 3) Assign appropriate resources.
DEC has worked with numerous
organizations during their redistricting process. From providing software support to
Turn-key redistricting services, DEC personnel have performed redistricting support
services throughout North America. DEC's Turn-Key services have included onsite
support, plan development, expert witness support, public meetings and citizen involvement.
DEC is also the developer of PrecinctPro, the only software available designed
specifically for the display, analysis, and management of precinct boundary and
demographic information. PrecinctPro's open architecture allows the use and analysis of
all US census data as well as local election result and political affiliation data. The
increased flexibility and efficiency provided by this software will greatly facilitate the
Database Development phase of the project, as well as the entire reprecincting effort.
Uniquely qualified as both a
software developer and GIS consultant, DEC brings a variety of capabilities and experience
to each project that we are involved in. (For
