Read MoreHide Full Article
The 30-year longstanding partnership between International Business Machines (IBM - Free Report) and the United States Tennis Association (“USTA”) has been renewed for five years. Both organizations have a longstanding collaboration and deliver a state-of-the-art platform that provides unparalleled, first-of-its-kind fan experiences through hybrid cloud and AI technologies.
The USTA and IBM iX, which is the experience design arm of IBM Consulting, have worked to develop and design the updated website and app, enabling fans across the world to mark their favorite players and curate their digital experience based on their own selections. Relevant and contextual content and insights have been redeveloped through the updated Scores, Schedule, Draws and Players sections.
The innovative solutions have been brought about by IBM Cloud and Red Hat OpenShift. The flexibility and adaptability of the cloud provide quick innovation each year, with the help of IBM developers who can develop code containing new features.
