MELBOURNE – August 1 2010: IMG Sports Technology Group today released an exciting new product to its range of web based solutions. In a major boost to both domestic and international sporting organisations, SportsDesq is set to revolutionise the way competitions are administered across a range of sports.

SportsDesq is an interactive competition management tool designed to ease the load on administrators. Developed with the assistance of elite and grass roots competition managers, the solution features full integration with IMG Sports Technology Group’s existing online membership application.

At the cutting edge of competition management, the complete web enabled product allows clubs and teams to submit results over the internet providing real time results management and a ‘to the minute’ ladder.

Commenting on the new release was IMG Sports Technology Group’s Chief Technology Officer, Glen McGoldrick "This is a major development for IMG Sports Technology Group and its clients. The knowledge and intellectual property of the elite and grass roots competition managers that we consulted in developing this product has been invaluable. We are confident that we have designed a product that will meet the needs of competition managers from all levels of sport both on the domestic and international scene."

As a significant benefit to current clients using the IMG Sports Technology Group range of products, SportsDesq will be provided free of charge.

This means we have the ability to provide SportsDesq to our current clientele free of charge. It is a value add product that we envisage users will adopt to conduct and administer their competitions with ease.”
