Partnership extends 'The Basketball Network'

Sport / Recreation / Technology

Basketball Australia has partners with Interfuse and IT specialists SportingPulse, to operate what is proving to be a successful online solution, The Basketball Network.

In an agreement running through to 2011, Basketball Australia is aiming to a leaders in world sport by embracing new information technology opportunities provided by the two widely successful companies.

The Basketball Network comprises of three main components providing secure access to website modules, competition management system (CMS), and database/registration modules (DB).

In what is thought to be a global first for sport, FIBA (the world governing body for basketball) and SportingPulse announced that FIBA Organiser, a competition management system, would be provided free of charge to an unlimited number of basketball organisations worldwide. This tool incorporates all facets of basketball administration such as competition management (schedules, results and standings), membership database (clubs, players, coaches, and referees) and communication.

Basketball Australia's agreement with SportingPulse and Interfuse has the potential to help unify the entire global basketball community through a central communications hub with simple web integration solutions.

"This is the first time any sport's worldwide governing body has commissioned the development of a universal communications system", explained Basketball Australia Chief Executive Scott Derwin, adding "it's great win for basketball in Australia."

Melbourne-based SportingPulse provides award-winning whole of sport competition management, database systems and websites to sporting bodies throughout the world. In addition to over 17,000 grass roots clubs and associations, SportingPulse also provide technology to International and National Federations, the IOC and major sporting events such as the 2007 FINA World Championships.
