WALLDORF, Germany, Dec. 1, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- SAP
NEWSBYTE -- SAP SE (NYSE: SAP) today announced the
SAP® Penalty Insights Web application is now available at
SAPStore.com. This new stand-alone offering provides soccer goalies
– and goalkeeping coaches – unique, data-driven and interactive
insights to help prepare for in-game penalty kicks and penalty
shootouts.
"For penalty shootouts, we had to painfully review data in the
past," said Andreas Köpke, goalkeeper coach, German Football
Association. "Now we can look at individual players very, very fast
and prepare our goalkeepers in an optimal way."
SAP Penalty Insights started as a penalty insight functionality
included in the SAP Sports One solution. It was co-developed by SAP
and the German Football Association for the 2016 European Football
Championship to transform the way teams utilized data and prepared
for upcoming matches. Based on positive tests from the German
Football Association as well as significant customer demand, the
penalty insights function has now been productized as a cloud
offering for a wider audience.
Users can watch video clips for every penalty in the database,
set powerful filters to help spot shooting tendencies, and identify
top penalty takers. A large range of filters lets the user conduct
an in-depth analysis of each penalty taker and find behavior
patterns, including goal area targeted, match situation, shot
characteristics and approach run characteristics. Users can also
quickly view key stats like overall number of penalty kicks, number
of goals, misses and conversion rate of a player. To view a video

Currently, penalty data exists for German first and second
Bundesliga teams, the German National DFB Cup team and Major League
Soccer clubs in the United States.
Going forward, additional leagues and countries will be added. The
initial target audience is goalkeepers and coaches, but sports
broadcasters, journalists and media members may also be
interested.
SAP Penalty Insights is built on SAP HANA® Cloud Platform. It
can be purchased easily with a credit card at SAPStore.com for €499
per user per year in Germany and
US$549 per user per year in
the United States. One license is
permitted per e-mail address. The solution runs on desktops with
Chrome and on iPads with Safari.
