Show Notes
How do sports and technology go hand in hand? This week, Technology Now explores how sports teams use technology both on and off the field. We examine the history of sport analytics, and how technology is utilized to help training, find opponents’ weaknesses, and even discover new talent going forwards. Matt Messick, CIO for the Dallas Cowboys who are part of Blue Star Operations Services, tells us more.
This is Technology Now, a weekly show from Hewlett Packard Enterprise. Every week, hosts Michael Bird and Aubrey Lovell look at a story that's been making headlines, take a look at the technology behind it, and explain why it matters to organizations.
