Sports Analytics: What it is and why it matters

Sports analytics encompasses the technologies and skills used to deliver business insights from operational data.

Through modeling, optimization, predictive analytics and business intelligence, sports clubs and leagues can gain insights to strengthen marketing performance, deepen fan-centric relationships and improve the way they engage customers to maximize their experience.

One of the key benefits of iQ-Sports™ is that it standardized the process for storing source data as well as creating reports and analytic models to make critical information available to business users.

Sports organizations suffer from lack of fan engagement, marketing campaigns are often too generic, the data available for campaigns is frequently inconsistent and plain wrong.

A sports marketing solution should be affordable, scalable, adaptable, capable of targeting quests in all possible ways.
