New ebook: Transforming the business of sports

Download the ebook to learn how AWS is revolutionizing the business of sports with immersive, predictive, data-driven technology.

Fans interact and engage with their sports interests before, during, and after games across a myriad of platforms and media.
These data sources can be wide, varied, and disparate before fan engagement solutions seamlessly brings them together. While sports leagues and teams want to increase fan reach, engagement, and retention, they often lack the capabilities to effectively store fan data and use it to build, operate, and measure personalized fan interactions. By leveraging key technologies like Amazon Personalize and AWS serverless services like AWS Fargate and AWS Lambda, organizations can create central repositories for fan data and ML models to uncover personas and trends, drive product and service development, as well as inform marketing and advertising strategies.
