INNOVATION IN ACTION
THE VALUE OF INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGY PARTNERSHIPS
As the NFL Draft approaches at the end of the month, the league made some innovative technology partnership announcements last week. Wearable technology company, Catapult, announced a partnership with the Atlanta Falcons which gave them a partnership with all 32 teams in the league. Data collection and analysis is a big part of athlete-driven media and human performance, and it's important that leagues and teams are aligning themselves with technology partners to facilitate those actions. The NFL also tapped Cisco to create a league-wide connected platform that will be installed in all 30 stadiums. Keeping fans connected and allowing for a memorable venue experience will allow fans to feel safe and the power of togetherness.
