EDS is Helping FRANCE 98 Score Big
Performance. In business or on the playing field, it's where boasting ends and results begin. Performance and results were just what we at EDS had in mind when we set out to build on our 1994 World Cup success - and our record in Formula One and IndyCar racing, Olympic Cycling, and the 1992 Barcelona Olympic Games. For FRANCE 98, we've taken sports information to new heights to meet our world goals. In fact, when it comes to 1998 World Cup soccer, an informed world is our goal. That's why we've made it our game plan to provide seamless services such as:
- State-of-the-art results and media systems - a constantly updated data bank will give journalists and the general public rapid internet access to key information on teams, players, referees, weather forecasts, entertainment and programs.
- Ticketing system - this sophisticated system will provide 2.5 million people with tickets to the games.
- Venue and stadium management systems - versatile information applications will manage many functions, among them the coordination of more than 10,000 volunteers and their assignments for every day of the 30-day event.
- Computer-aided design - CAD systems will allow the French Organizing Committee (CFO) to manage virtual environments for each of the venue cities, including site reviews, marketing signage placement, asset management system and design considerations.
As 1998 World Cup Official Information Technology Services Provider, we're the ones that designed and developed the ONLY official FRANCE 98 Web site. Why are we so committed? Because when it comes to world-class football competition, we're not just a supplier, we're a partner -- the first selected by the CFO! Oh sure, we're in it for the passion of the game, just like you are. But along the way toward this mega-event, our skillful style and high-energy approach are showing up everywhere from the Internet to places like multimedia formats, client/server applications, and computer-aided design. It's simply the way we apply innovation and insight for all our clients. And we do it every day around the world -- from processing your ATM transactions to working with food manufacturers like Del Monte to provide you with top-quality products at the grocery store.
