To meet the needs of its standards development participants, with a
focus on providing easy access and top-notch service, the IEEE
Standards Association partnered with bivio to develop a new web-based
standards balloting system and service, called myBallot(TM), using
bOP. myBallot provides users with continuous access to a robust
collection of IEEE standards balloting tools and information and
provides users the ability to directly manage their ballot activities
online. bivio was presented with a complete specification, and began
coding. Within a few weeks, IEEE standards participants could create a
ballot, enter comments and vote. Over the course of a few months, the
application was extended to meet the specification and improved based
on extensive user feedback.
We have worked side-by-side with Bivio for over a decade. Our staff
and volunteers use the systems developed and operated by Bivio every
day for tasks ranging from attendance management to voting on all IEEE
standards. Our working groups meet around the world so our systems
have to be operational 24/7. Bivio makes software that works. -- Bob LaBelle
