They aren't talking about the campaign websites. Both campaigns had complex internal software systems to help target field worker campaign activities, get out the vote efforts, monitor and respond to turnout data on election day, etc.
According to various reports, the Obama campaign was hugely successful in this endeavor [1] while the Romney campaign's election day voter turnout system was a disaster [2].

You don't need to negotiate compromises and tip toe around various laws to run some stats for your media predictive analytics. Your vendors want you to continue in the campaign, so they still have contracts. Everyone is running for the same goal line. Health care and insurance entitlement programs are clearly orders of magnitude more quadmired before a single line of code is written.
