City Football Group, the controlling organization for Manchester City FC, New York City FC, Melbourne City FC and Yokohama F. Marinos, announced a partnership with SAP today that will see SAP become the official “Cloud Software Provider” for the four football clubs, in addition to being an adviser to City Football Group.
SAP, a German multinational software corporation, will offer cloud-based solutions in three primary areas—business operations, fan engagement and player and team performance.
As far as business operations goes, SAP has a variety of software that will help the front and back offices sift through their data, and analyze the most effective business strategy.
