KARACHI: Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Co-Chairman Asif Zardari announced Sunday that the PPP has established a central data centre to collect voting data from each polling station in the country.

“Every polling agent has been directed to keep a count of the votes and to give the total number of votes at each polling station to the central data bank,” said Zardari in a statement.

After the votes per candidate have been counted and this data submitted to the central data bank, the polling agents will be provided with a summary sheet of the votes cast, signed by the presiding officer. The polling agents are to submit this information to the data centre as well.

An article simply to highlight how IT, how data centers are becoming an integral part of your business, whether it’s number crunching those election results, or carrying out your risk analytics, regardless that the IT function delivers service and business benefit is what counts. An interesting read.
