Data warehouse & tooling
Phoenix data warehouse
Phoenix, the cloud-based data warehouse powered by Google, is leveraged by state parties, sister committees, and candidate campaigns. Phoenix has 99.9% uptime, essential security controls, and near infinite scalability.
Portal tool hub
Portal, the Phoenix tool hub, provides tooling to automate workflows and organization administration. Helpful tools include importing/exporting data between tools and sequencing and scheduling jobs.
Data analytics & data science
Enriched national voter file data
DNC Tech processes, standardizes, and enriches voter files for all 50 states and DC. Additionally, the DNC acquires critical data like phone numbers and geocodes that campaigns up and down ballot leverage to effectively reach voters.
Models to improve voter targeting
The DNC has unique access to decades of campaign data. Using this rich historical data, the data science team builds custom data science models like Democratic Support, Education, and Phone Contactability. These models help campaigns determine messaging, outreach channels, and targeting. Campaigns save time and money by leveraging the DNC models rather than each having to build their own.
