4.4. Hybrid: Davies Public Affairs

Davies contracts can be found here: \\hqs-file1\P_Drive\CONTRACTS\7368 DAVIES PUBLIC AFFAIRS

Terms include:

• Unlimited number of Databases
• Up to 40 imports annually. (They have yet to exceed that limit...typically average 20 per year.)
• Rushed imports will be completed within 1-3 days for a fee of $200
• All regular imports will be completed within 7 days

New Davies databases are added by Support since a new contract is not needed each time. If Support sends a request to import data, note you will need to prefix the name with a "v-" to find it in the Database Manager since they are a VoterManager/BackOffice Hybrid. You'll notice their database names start with "h_" for Hybrid.  For example, if they send over a request for "Dominion", you would enter "V-Dominion" in the Database Manager and the database name is HVV-CCDB2.h_Dominion.

The vast majority of their import requests will be from VLO, although a handful have been from Labels & Lists. See the "Common Import Formats" knowledge book for examples. Keep in mind they haven't updated their VLO export template in a very long time...as it still includes elections from the 90's. However, you can ignore any elections that old unless they specify otherwise.
