In our experience the kinds of problems that we solve can almost always be related to one of these key challenge areas our clients face in their businesses: Data / Innovation / Growth / Security
Worldwide tournament management platform hires KEYSYS to enhance consumer offerings
CLIENT:
After establishing themselves as the leading force in one of the world’s fastest growing sports, PickleballTournaments.com needed to maintain and extend their industry leadership on a global scale. They came to KEYSYS in need of finding a technology partner that could enhance, and support their existing tournament management platform.
PROBLEM:
The PickleballTournaments.com tournament management platform handles thousands of users each day as they create, register, and operate Pickleball tournaments.
(FYI in case you didn’t know. Pickleball is a paddleball sport that combines elements of tennis, badminton, and table tennis. Two or four players use solid paddles made of wood or composite materials to hit a perforated polymer ball, similar to a Wiffle Ball, over a net.)
The existing PickleballTournaments.com platform was originally built in Perl, a dynamic programming language. After years of updates and hundreds of thousands of users it needed to be modernized to include a mobile responsive framework and User Experience improvements to better serve the Pickleball playing community.
