Global Arena Holding Inc's Competitiveness

Although competition is increasing, GES believes there is no competitor with the organization, breadth and depth to service the diverse needs of the election services market. Competitors are either vertically of regionally focused or biased towards their unique strengths. The majority of competitors are small regional players who lack resources to compete nationally with the exception of American Arbitration Association, an arbitration firm that services exclusively labor unions. Other competitors are more regional in scope (e.g. True Ballot and Votenet – Washington DC; Merriman River, Midwest; Integrity Voting, Election Trust, Seattle, California Election Company and Ballotpoint, West Coast) and either family or owner operator entities. There is a small subset of Internet firms pushing ASP or exclusively electronic based elections (e.g. Election America and everyonecounts.com).
