On Wednesday February 6th, SAP presented to an interdisciplinary Sports Marketing class at the Northwestern University Medill School of Journalism, Media, and Integrated Marketing Communications. SAP’s Marius Meissner shared several use case stories from the SAP Sports and Entertainment industry solutions group. Students asked questions about SAP solutions and our approach to engagements with sports teams and venues.
Marius shared stories and videos that illustrated SAP co-innovation solutions with several key industry partners including:
- FC Bayern Munich: Engages with Soccer Fans With SAP Customer Experience Solutions
- San Jose Sharks
- New York Yankees
- SAP NHL VR Experience 2019
We also shared some information on how SAP Sports One and SAP Analytics Cloud helps teams perform better in athletic contests and some broader comments on SAP Sports Sponsorships. These examples provide compelling cases of how SAP supports our customers and partners in building intelligent enterprises.
The course description for Northwestern’s Sports Marketing course is as follows:
