WaiverWire Completes First Fantasy Football Season on the Amadeus Platform
Amadeus Consulting helped WaiverWire develop fantasy football user technology that gives users a distinct competitive and statistical advantage.
Boulder, CO, February 20, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Sunday’s Super Bowl may signal the end of the football season, but for 27 million fantasy football players their season ended months ago.
However, many companies are already making preparations for next year’s fantasy season, and upgrading the technology that is required to make the season successful for players. One example is the fantasy football network WairverWire.com, which has partnered with Amadeus Consulting, a custom software and web developer, in order to provide users with an extra edge and powerful insights for upcoming seasons.
Fantasy football is played by user-created “dream teams” using statistics of real football players to compete against other fantasy teams. Winning depends on managing a roster to have the best scoring players of the week on your team, and adapting the roster regularly to ensure that your team maintains a lead. On average, users spend nine hours a week managing, updating, and interpreting player statistics, and so any improved technology can give a distinct advantage.
Originally players used paper-and-pencil scoreboards to create and manage their rosters, but over the years the game has evolved and now relies heavily on internet technology. In order to keep up with the demands of fantasy football players, WaverWire.com asked Amadeus Consulting to help relaunch its website and create an easy to use tool that can interpret three year’s worth of data on thousands of players and make draft suggestions for future rounds.
Powered by the Amadeus Platform™, the fantasy football draft tool stores game statistics for every play over the last three years and uses its vast database and superfast processing to provide predictions and smart suggestions which give users a distinct competitive and statistical advantage. Users can also experiment with mock drafts, accept player recommendations, and is completely customizable and able to adapt to different scoring systems, prize structures or league types.
WaiverWire previously worked with another custom web developer, but came to Amadeus Consulting because of its superior software development experience, and its ability to integrate database management, e-commerce, usability and custom software design into a single web application.
“Fantasy Football players have never had this kind of power before,” said Steve Loper, Chief Technology Officer at Amadeus Consulting. “Users can log on to WaiverWire.com and are immediately connected to a wealth of information and intelligent forecasts, which is presented in a way that is easy to understand and intuitive to use.”
Both WaiverWire and all the new fantasy football fans at Amadeus Consulting are excited to begin next year’s fantasy season using the new technology.
