The ATP and Infosys, a global leader in consulting, technology, outsourcing and next-generation services, today announced a strategic partnership to leverage the latest technological advances in mobility, cloud and analytics to transform the experience of tennis fans and players the world over.

As part of this partnership, Infosys will become the Global Technology Services Partner and Platinum Sponsor of the ATP World Tour, as well as the season-ending Barclays ATP World Tour Finals, for the next three years.

Chris Kermode, ATP Executive Chairman & President, said, “We’re delighted to be launching this new partnership with Infosys. The opportunities surrounding technology, statistics and data in men’s professional tennis are vast. Today’s announcement is fantastic news for the ATP as we welcome an industry leader in Infosys and take an important step towards exploring new opportunities in this area. We look forward to developing a number of exciting initiatives as part of the partnership.”

Like most popular sports, tennis fans are increasingly consuming more content about the sport across multiple channels. Active fan engagement today demands contextual, real-time information and insights about the game across a variety of channels. Infosys, as the exclusive Global Technology Services Partner of the ATP World Tour, will leverage its expertise in cloud, mobility and analytics to manage, analyze and interpret large volumes of tennis data (both historical and current) and present insights and predictions through interactive platforms for ATP fans, players, partners and the media.

Under this partnership, Infosys will work on several key initiatives for the ATP World Tour. These will include:

Creation of an exclusive Infosys ATP Scores & Stats Centre to revolutionize engagement with tennis fans by providing unprecedented insights and predictions about every tournament, every match and every point. The Scores & Stats Centre will be powered by the Infosys Information Platform (IIP), an open-source data analytics platform for data visualization and data analysis.

Reimagine the ATP Player Zone, a next-generation player engagement platform and mobile app, to elevate the experience for players and enable them to register for tournaments, review travel information, connect with other players, and stay up-to-date on all ATP World Tour news.

Manage the infrastructure, applications and data of ATP World Tour by leveraging the elasticity and computational power of the cloud-based model.
