About the Client

The client is a professional football global leader in the provision of scouting, recruitment, player administration, and management solutions. Working with 75% of English Premier League Clubs and more than 50% of Clubs in the top Leagues of France, Germany, Netherlands, and Spain, the Client provides an intelligent framework for a successful blend of subjective scouting assessment, objective data, and video analysis.

Challenge

The project was initiated to map the high expectations and vision of a premier web application into reality. The Application needed to have unbreakable security with an explicit design model featuring easy to use user interface.

Key challenges included:

  • An explicit design model was needed with easy to use UI
  • Data must only be available to the authorized subscriber
  • Integration of all the already available apps and data centers with the new application
  • Content must be non-searchable. non-availability of secured content on public search engines
  • Secure data handling, maintenance, and implementation
  • Sharing of data, and details among all niche platforms
  • Testing of application to be done with dummy data, unavailability of live stats as per security concerns
  • Data needs to be available in widgets, which needs to be available as per subscription basis

Solution

The following solutions were incorporated to fulfill the need and requirements of the client. Some of the key solutions are:

  • Search capability – To uphold data security, the content was made non-searchable for public search engines. Only authorized personnel could feed and see data.
  • Security – The highest security parameters are followed to ensure no breach in security. The system has been developed in the widget application model, letting subscribers enjoy the private data as per the widget subscribed.
  • Integration of already present applications and data centers – New Web application has been integrated to share data and login details with all the already present apps and data centers. Login into the new application enables access to all other apps also.
  • Subscription Model – Users have been maintained and managed and data widgets have been provided to them as per their subscription. Only the functionalities have been designed into widgets.
  • Testing of Application – The unavailability of live data to test applications guided us to develop a high level of understanding of the concept of the project, to ensure the applicability of the system performance with the client.
