Digital Disruption in Sport (part 1) with Tata Communications, IBM and Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise Something Quite New

This week we're back with the first podcast of 2020! Last year was quite ad hoc in terms of regularity but from now on you can expect a new episode every week, with some great guests lined up.
To kick things off we go back to our birthday event in December and the Digital Disruption panel, hosting by our CEO Claire Ritchie-Tomkins. A panel on which we were able to bring together some big technology brands who have been involved in sport for many years to provide some fascinating insights. They were
Sam Seddon - Wimbledon and RFU Client & Programme Executive, IBM
Bijaya Basu - Head of Sponsorships, Tata Communications
Grant Dall - Global Alliance Manager for NTT, Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise
But before we got into the panel, Dan McLaren and Chris Hughes took some time to go through a few of the headlines that have attracted interest in the sports tech industry so far this year. Each week our aim is to offer some insight and discussion around these key topics, helping to provide you with an understanding and curate what you need to know. Whether it be Instagram hiding likes, Liverpool FC successfully launching memberships on YouTube or a new sports tech hub opening in London. It's all here.
This week is part 1 of the panel with our guests talking about their involvement and experiences within sport. How the technologies they produce help solve problems, with the aim for teams and events to be more successful and fans to get the ultimate experiences.
IBM started working with Wimbledon in 1990 and launched the first Wimbledon.org in 1995. Since then the partnership has become one that is closely intertwined, with new technologies tested to create better and deeper fan experiences every year.
ALE worked with pro cycling outfit Team Dimension Data (now NTT Pro Cycling) to initially help them track everything that moved, whether it be water bottles or bike parts. Enabling the team to know where everything was at any time and making logistical decisions easier.
And Tata Communications have been involved in sport for almost a decade through Formula One*, The European Tour and MotoGP. Bijaya explains how they work on getting live feeds from races all round the world to remote production teams with minimal delays. Saving time and money for the rights holders, and delivering other products on top of this technology to create the ultimate fan experiences.
