What do sports and software development share in common? Both are best done as a team. Or an interdisciplinary team as is the case in an ongoing project at adesso Schweiz AG being carried out in partnership with the Swiss football association (SFV). Working hand in hand with the SFV, adesso analysed its current central information application, which dates back to 1999, at which time it also designed and developed a new app to replace it. This is now being rolled out and will gradually take over for the formerly used solution.
Thanks to the excellent cooperation, the SFV's modern web application shines in new splen-dour: adesso has streamlined SFV’s old app, which has become complex and ungainly over the years, and brought the technology underlying it up to date. This is also reflected in the contemporary design that delivers enhanced usability and a much better customer experience. The app contains the standard administrative panel for member management, which includes an overview of members, roles and authorisations, alongside information on registrations, player transfers, events, courses, ticketing and financials. The main component, however, is the panel for league operations across Switzerland, where fixture lists can be generated, matches postponed, referees assigned and information provided on testing and inspections, among others. A number of changes have to be made there all the time due to rule modifications, new functionalities or where new potential for digitalisation is spotted. This can all be done much more efficiently with the new application.
