We worked on the first studio touchscreen system for Premier League channel some years ago, so when DeltaTre won the tender to provide the graphics for the channel, they approached us and asked if we could help them build a state-of-the-art data driven system.
One of the key requirements of the new system was speed of access, so we initially focussed on integrating the stats feed (provided by Opta).
We were asked to provide a complete workflow for the touchscreen which comprised (in addition to our Kontact(tm) solution) bespoke operator interfaces and services for processing Opta data.
In addition Premier League channel needed social media tools to power their daily Fanzone show – watched all over the world, with a focus on viewer interaction, it was key they could get tweets to air as quickly as possible. To facilitate this they purchased Crowdburst, our tool for bringing social media data to screen quickly and easily.
We also provided a Piero integration, allowing the Piero system to be driven directly from the touchscreen.
