This website is an attempt to gather best practices for the deployment of new technologies in a single place, presenting a strategic approach to choosing new technology projects. 

The section “How technology can help” discusses the possible applications of new ICTs in three core areas of party organizing: outreach; policy development; and management. This section provides a broad overview of how new ICTs can help parties to better perform their key functions and is an ideal starting point for parties beginning to explore new ICTs, and the types of tools that may help. The chapter on “core concepts” discusses key ideas in political party technology, including databases, and the most basic political organizing and security tools. The preliminary analysis section outlines the types of analysis and decisions that should be conducted prior to deploying new ICTs including: problem analysis; goal setting; what types of technology can help; and selecting specific tools. Finally the toolbox discusses various types of tech tools, key considerations, benefits and possible pitfalls of each.  In addition, the website includes case studies from around the world that explore political parties’ successful, and less successful ICT projects, with more to be added in the future.
