Nothing compares to the excitement of cheering on your favorite team to victory before the final buzzer. To offer a fully immersive experience, everyone—from gamers and employees to technology—must cooperate.
In order to connect the virtual and physical worlds on and off the field, fans want tailored experiences. Real-time highlights from your favorite basketball games, virtual reality, and a seamless method to engage with other fans (and rivals!) whenever and however you want are all made possible by this.
An organization like the National Basketball Association (NBA) requires the appropriate technology partners and a cloud-based app transformation plan in order to keep providing such remarkable experiences and surpassing fan expectations. Teamwork is essential for successful app modernization, which is why we are pleased to offer our most recent customer story, which highlights our collaboration with the NBA.
The NBA’s IT Application Development Group, a committed staff charged with creating and maintaining the NBA’s apps for both internal and external users, is the subject of our most recent customer story. The NBA used the Microsoft Azure application platform services for app modernization to shorten the time to market for apps for a variety of use cases and improve the NBA experience for fans, officials, and staff members everywhere they interact.
The NBA had to combine the apps and data it was using across many sites, including some that were on-premises, into a single spot. The NBA’s IT Application Development Group must plan for numerous activities as part of the modernization of a sizable app estate, from configuration and security to provisioning and scaling to maximizing networking and storage requirements.
The NBA has been able to shorten time to market by shifting these tedious but crucial operations to a fully managed application platform using cloud technologies like Azure App Service. With the help of low-code and no-code features, we leveraged PowerApps and Azure to further streamline our app development process.
