Outcome IQ: the story behind making it happen

In this series of short videos, we discuss some key challenges that the team faced when developing Outcome IQ.

How much tech in sport is too much?

Where’s the line between innovation and distraction in sports? With AI, predictive models, and real-time data transforming the fan experience, the challenge is to enhance and not overwhelm viewers. How do you find that balance?

What’s more intimidating than an impending deadline? Delivering it live, with the eyes of millions of fans around the world watching. In this video, the debate focuses on how we delivered pioneering technology under pressure.

The impossible data challenge

Many companies are grappling with data: not just its overwhelming volume, but also its quality. This kind of data challenge is inevitable when pursuing true innovation.

Sports and tech

Technology now plays a vital part in many aspects of sports – enhancing the viewing experience, encouraging fan engagement, assisting teams and players to increase performance, and more. And as technology itself advances, so does its potential for enriching the sports experience. In this annual report from the Capgemini Research Institute, we explore the topic of technology in sports in depth, with a look towards the future.

Revisiting Ryder Cup 2023 in Rome

Transforming through technology

We help transform our clients’ businesses by unlocking the opportunities of technology.u003cbru003eu003cbru003eFor the Ryder Cup in Rome, we used technology to bring a data-first vision to the event. We gave fans the tools to witness real-time course and player insights. We provided assurance for IT services and empowering captains to make data-driven decisions impacting strategy. u003cbru003eu003cbru003eAll this to help transform the game and fan experience through the power of technology.

Outcome IQ

At the Ryder Cup, every shot matters. Outcome IQ, introduced in 2023, estimated the probability of winning the hole, the day, and the match. u003cbru003eu003cbru003eThis tool, which sits on the Ryder Cup app, put the intelligence of real-time data in the palm of every fan’s hand. u003cbru003eu003cbru003eIt harnessed the precision of multiple inputs, from player performance to hole-specific characteristics and player pairings, to deliver insightful in-game analysis.

IT governance

Capgemini provided the program assurance and project management to make the tournament technology successful. An event on the scale of 3.5 million viewers and over 200,000 on-site guests and players required an integrated IT system that is stable, secure, and strategically planned. u003cbru003eu003cbru003eOur world-class program management team oversaw the coordination of technology delivery, public mobile deployment and infrastructure testing to ensure the quality of the technology performed as much as the golfers themselves – and to power a flawless Ryder Cup experience for all fans of the game.

Captain's Dashboard

To empower smarter decisions on the course, we developed a custom application that was used by the EU Captain and Vice Captains to make real-time, data-driven calls – optimizing match pairings and team sequencing to boost performance on every hole.u003cbru003eu003cbru003eEdoardo Molinari, Europe Vice Captain, commented: u0022The Captain’s Dashboard, that Capgemini and I worked closely on to develop, provided Luke with vital insights and information.
