Helping Wimbledon in their pursuit of greatness
For 28 years IBM has been the official supplier of Information Technology and consultant to the All England Club and The Championships, Wimbledon. We are proud that it is our technology and expertise that helps Wimbledon in their pursuit of greatness.
By analysing millions of data points and thousands of pages of unstructured text you can understand, reason and learn what it takes to pursue greatness within a sporting arena. For a business wanting to understand how to deliver a great customer experience or differentiate their services they must look beyond pure historic structured data to the vast volumes of unstructured data created every day. Using IBM's cognitive and cloud solutions businesses can understand and respond to their customer needs in ways never possible before. This year we're using these technologies to determine what makes a great Wimbledon Champion. Join the conversation and have your say in #WhatMakesGreat.
