      QUICK OVERVIEW:

      
 
DIMS was founded in 1981 by John R. Hice. DIMS claims to service more voters than any other company
in the United States.  They claim to serve 10 millions voters, in 4 states and 26 local jurisdictions.  However, 5 million
of those voters are in one county--Los Angeles.   For the Diebold link to the DIMS product, look here:

Since being purchased by Diebold, the DIMS product is now in a number of state, including Ohio (with about 15 installed counties).

        In early 2003 DIMS was purchased by Diebold.  The DIMS product has gone through several versions and
platforms.  One version was written for Unix.  The current version is Windows based and runs under SQL Server.
