A leading national polling organization needed to modernize its election data collection process during the 2016 Presidential election cycle by replacing traditional paper-based polling methods with secure, real-time mobile technology.

ConnectUs delivered a fully managed mobility solution that enabled the deployment of over 8,000 Samsung tablets supporting secure digital polling operations, real-time data collection, and faster nationwide reporting capabilities.

Challenge:

  • Outdated Paper-Based Polling Processes — Manual data processing delays of weeks before results were available.
  • Large-Scale Device Procurement and Deployment — Thousands of devices to dozens of polling locations ahead of critical deadlines.
  • Security and Device Control Requirements — Devices needed to be locked down exclusively to polling applications.
  • Budget and Cost Constraints — Required controlling deployment costs.

Solution:

Rapid Device Procurement and Fulfillment — Over 8,000 Samsung tablets procured, configured, kitted, and deployed before election deadlines.

Secure Kiosk Mode Configuration — Dedicated polling applications, custom security settings, locked-down kiosk mode, centralized MDM monitoring.

Nationwide Deployment and Logistics Management — Staging, kitting, packaging, inventory management, on-demand shipping.

Centralized Mobile Device Management — Enterprise MDM tools for centralized monitoring across the entire fleet.

How we did it:

  • Successfully Deployed Over 8,000 Mobile Devices Nationwide
  • Reduced Device Costs by $150 Per Device vs direct carrier purchasing
  • Accelerated Election Data Collection and Reporting — Near real-time
  • Improved Security and Polling Integrity — Kiosk mode lockdown
  • Enabled Long-Term Operational Scalability — Continued partnership through 2020 primaries

Why Organizations Choose ConnectUs

ConnectUs helps enterprise organizations modernize large-scale mobile deployments through fully managed mobility services designed for speed, security, and operational efficiency. From procurement and MDM configuration to logistics, inventory management, and secure device lockdown, ConnectUs delivers scalable mobility solutions that support mission-critical operations nationwide.

Multi-Peripheral Device Configuration

We configured each health monitoring device to seamlessly connect with up to six different Bluetooth medical peripherals, including blood pressure monitors, digital stethoscopes, weight scales, glucose meters, pulse oximeters, and thermometers. All devices were tested and validated to ensure stable data transmission and accurate readings.

Android Kiosk Mode & App Lockdown

Every Android device was locked into a secure single-app environment, giving patients access only to the client’s telehealth application. This prevented misuse, reduced support issues, and ensured full compliance with healthcare security standards.

Diabetes Monitor Pairing & Data Sync

We paired diabetes monitoring devices directly with Android tablets and phones, enabling automatic data capture and real-time synchronization with the client’s care platform — without manual input from patients.

Electronic Visit Verification (EVV)

We implemented electronic visit verification to confirm caregiver visits and remote check-ins, helping the client meet payer and regulatory requirements while improving care transparency.

Treatment Logs & Care Tracking

We enabled secure treatment logs and activity tracking so clinicians could monitor patient engagement, medication adherence, and care outcomes in one centralized system.
