The ATP and Infosys (NYSE: INFY), a global leader in consulting, technology, outsourcing and next-generation services, were awarded five marketing and innovation awards following the launch of a successful strategic technology partnership.
By leveraging the capabilities of the Infosys Information Platform (IIP) to create content such as Beyond the Numbers, a unique analytics series that deep dives into player performance and the ATP Stats LEADERBOARDS, a new statistical way to measure the best performing ATP World Tour players released earlier in the year, the partnership received awards in the following categories:
"We have been very fortunate to work with such an engaged and collaborative partner in Infosys,” said Chris Kermode, ATP Executive Chairman & President. “The ATP World Tour always strives to innovate and Infosys has served as a catalyst to help us do so through their innovative statistical analysis and insight”.
"Bringing leading edge technology to tennis is an opportunity to amplify human potential. We are helping ATP look at a tennis in new ways, giving players and coaches insight to elevate their performance, and using data to create insights that transform the fan experience. This recognition of our first year’s work encourages us to continue on this journey to help everyone in the world of tennis see more and be more,” said UB Pravin Rao, Chief Operating Officer, Infosys.
These awards represent the success of the ATP-Infosys technology partnership which continues to deliver new and exciting insights into the game. For instance, the new Live Commentary feed which was launched in time for the 2016 Barclays ATP World Tour Finals and provides live insights to fans who follow live scores on the official tournament website www.BarclaysATPWorldTourFinals.com.
