"The sporting calendar is full of big events, but some end up being unforgettable. And this year's Ryder cup golf tournament at Bethpage Black golf course in New York was one of them, not just for what happened on the course, but also off it. But as the action and drama on and off the golf course unfolded, underneath it all was an element that kept everything running: the performance of the network on which the event's management relied on."
"For this year's competition, the sporting and organisational bar was set higher than ever, and getting things right depended on what the organisers described as a connected intelligence platform that had the flexibility to ingest, unify and analyse tournament data from a variety of sources to gain real-time insights and intelligence. These sources included crowd locations, drink and merchandise point of sale devices, ticket scans, weather information, the location of golf carts, historical footage of past Ryder Cup events, site plans and operational manuals."
Bethpage Black hosted a Ryder Cup event that demanded extensive operational and technical support across retail, commercial, operations, security, safety, and broadcast functions. A connected intelligence platform ingested, unified, and analysed diverse data sources—crowd locations, point-of-sale devices, ticket scans, weather, golf cart locations, historical footage, site plans, and manuals—to provide real-time insights. The platform supported real-time operational management and decision-making, operational intelligence for future planning to optimise revenue, costs, and guest experiences, enhanced staff tools and resources, immediate value realisation, and better utilisation of tournament content. The event relied critically on robust network performance.
