stakeholders of tennis
LONDON, March 6,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Infosys (NSE: INFY), (BSE:
INFY), (NYSE: INFY), a global leader in next-generation digital
services and consulting, today announced the renewal of its digital
innovation partnership with the ATP Tour until 2026. The three-year
extension of the partnership will continue to draw on Infosys' deep
expertise in digital technologies like Artificial Intelligence,
Data Analytics, and Cloud, which will enrich the fan experience and
player performance in professional tennis.
Since the partnership's inception in 2015,
Infosys and ATP have collaborated to deploy rich and innovative
digital assets for ATP, including reinventing the legacy ATP
PlayerZone intranet portal, launching the first ever ATP Tour fan
app, and several AI-first features powered by Infosys Topaz across
the Infosys ATP Stats Center. These platforms have enhanced live
match viewing and tennis data analysis with rich insights that have
led to a 50% increase in traffic on the stats section of the ATP
website year-on-year. It has seen over 5.7 million digital
engagements from fans worldwide for its rich content including
rally analysis, 3D visualizations, stroke summaries, and many
point-by-point insight tools. Building on this success, Infosys and
ATP will now focus on new innovations powered by AI and data to
personalize experiences for players and fans.
In addition, Infosys and ATP have created a
positive impact on society through the ATP Carbon Tracker, which
helps monitor and offsets the carbon footprint of players. Over 200
ATP players engaged with the platform in 2023 alone, with 6.55
million kilometers of travel tracked. This first of its kind
sustainable sports innovation will continue to help ATP accelerate
its journey to achieve net zero emissions by 2040.
Daniele Sano,
ATP Chief Business Officer, said, "We're thrilled to renew our
partnership with Infosys until 2026. Over the years, Infosys'
expertise in AI, technology and sustainability has yielded
groundbreaking digital innovations that have elevated experiences
for players and fans, and also grow the global tennis fan base.
Through the ATP Carbon Tracker, Infosys helped us navigate a
difficult challenge and inspire greener choices for tomorrow. We're
excited to further leverage Infosys' expertise across the digital
landscape of men's professional tennis over the next three
years."
Sumit Virmani, EVP & Global Chief
Marketing Officer, Infosys, said, "We are proud and excited to
extend our relationship with the ATP - it was our first partnership
in the world of sports and has been integral to our global brand
outreach. Through a shared vision to enhance the digital experience
for all stakeholders of the tennis ecosystem, while accelerating
ATP's sustainability goals, our collaboration has successfully
leveraged technological innovations to create an immersive and
engaging experience for over a billion fans and thousands of
players globally. We are enthusiastic about the next phase of
AI-powered digital innovations, driven by Infosys Topaz, which will
demonstrate to all our stakeholders how we can amplify the
potential of this sport, especially through AI."
In addition to ATP, Infosys, has a deep and
evolving association with tennis being the official Digital
Innovation Partner of the Australian Open, Roland-Garros, and the
International Tennis Hall of Fame, while tennis champions
