CNN Launches App for U.S. Elections

Latin America. The presidential race in the United States in 2016 is a campaign of data and information, for this reason CNN Politics now recounts each of the twists and turns in the elections for the White House through an application based on this information. This app is now available for IOS users through the App Store.

The CNN app, built in conjunction with CA Technologies' API management tools and mobile software, is a unique experience that monitors in real time the results, delegates, voting and fundraising for this 2016 election. 

With personalized alerts and notifications, the app takes users to be fully aware of what is happening in the elections and invites them to analyze various data from the political landscape for the day of the votes.

Some of the features of the CNN Politics app include:
Exclusive stories based on data and visualizations, which will help voters understand who is winning the election and why
Easy-to-understand election results, breaking news, as well as comprehensive video news coverage from the #1 online political news hub. 
Personalized alerts and notifications to keep users updated on the stories and trends that define this election race.

Matthew Drooker, CNN's vice president of app development and technology, says there's a wealth of data and information associated with this historic race, from poll results to fundraising to delegate counting, who's moving well and who's not, among other things; "We've partnered with CA Technologies to build a native mobile experience where users can understand the meaning behind numbers in a compelling and completely personal way. The result is an informative, immersive and indispensable multimedia experience."

The CNN Politics app was built using CA's API management as well as CA Mobile App Analytics. "CA API management allows you to transfer and aggregate data and information from different sources, including CNN polls, the Federal Election Commission and the CNN/Pivit political prediction market," said Denyson Machado, senior director of API Management and Security Solution Sales at CA Technologies in Latin America.

CA Mobile Apps Analytics provides insight into evaluating app usage with advanced data visualization and optimizing app performance to deliver a seamless user experience. 

"CNN is one of the most innovative companies in its segment. CA made use of agile methodologies and DevOps to build the application. In addition to ensuring an excellent experience for users, it also allows CNN to have an overview of the use of the app, the most visited pages and the geographical distribution of users in real time," says João Fabio de Valentin, Vice President of Solution Sales and DevOps of CA Technologies for América Larina.

Otto Berkes, Global Chief Technology Officer at CA Technologies celebrates the partnership with CNN. "Our API management technology ensures that the application was built efficiently, and our mobile analytics provide valuable insights into application performance and application usage, so we can collectively ensure that the user experience is what they expect and want."

CA Technologies is a sponsor of America's Choice Election 2016 on CNN. The overall alliance extends through the global power of CNN's cross-platform footprint. In the digital realm, CA is the exclusive sponsor of the CNN Politics app, as well as the CNNPolitics.com hub that hosts app content and includes the CA brand. On television, complimentary updates to the app will be featured as well as survey segments to gauge viewer sentiment in the face of key political ads. Courageous, CNN's studio brand, also produced a series of behind-the-scenes videos of how the app was developed as well as more details of this strategic alliance; which will be transmitted through its various platforms.
