When the Canadian’s call an election they conduct a process similar to a US Census. SHL had a contract to provide the computer networks, servers, desktops and software for the Election Offices. Local Election officials are designated in advance. When an Election is scheduled the officials have to rent an office in their district. They would contact the Central Election Office and the profile of the local office would be entered into a Remedy application. Notifications would then be sent from Remedy to the warehouse where the computer equipment is stored in a large crate for the local office. North American Van Lines would also be notified from Remedy to move the equipment to the local office. The local SHL Office would be notified to receive and setup the equipment. Status of all these actions was recorded in Remedy. The Local Official would hire staff and those actions were recorded in Remedy. Once an Office was in operation they would be sent a list of the people in their district and they would canvas the district to update the list and report daily to Election HQ. Candidates would then be provided the lists for mailings and calls. During the Election period the local Officials and their staff are paid and that all flowed through the Remedy application.
One of the challenges of the project was the requirement that the application had to be bi-lingual on the fly. The first application was implemented in 1993 in version 1.2. I worked with Doug to get Drop-Down Menus added to the product and I devised a system were each view and each menu had both English and French labels and values (they were also numerated). The agent could switch between languages by switching views and with the exception of text and diary fields a report of the data in a record could be viewed or printed in either language. I updated the application for a total of three elections before I left SHL to join VISTA IT.

Subject: Your Remedy Applications
I was just sitting here wondering what other applications I could do with
Remedy, but Im drawing a blank.
So I decided to ask you guys to see what applications have you made in
Remedy? Not modifications of
HelpDesk, etc, but actual applications.
So far I have thought of a Knowledge Base application.
