Digital working - certainly possible!

The soccer of today and tomorrow is data-driven. TSG collects a lot of it: in building management, ticket sales, public transport data and highly sensitive player data. All this data has to be recorded and processed, securely stored and just as securely delivered to the right people - every day, around the clock, at weekends and on match days. And, of course, always up to date. This is essential for the team's success on the pitch. Coaches must have access to their players' data at all times, as well as information on tactics and opponents. Team doctors, on the other hand, need access to the players' medical data at all times. Even the staff in the parking garage at the stadium are dependent on data if they need to be able to check the number of available parking spaces in real time. The fact is: data is directly and indirectly decisive for the game and must therefore be as secure and available as possible.

STACKIT as a reliable partner for the cloud and more

STACKIT supports TSG not only in the technical evaluation of application designs, but also in the implementation of these designs in the STACKIT Cloud. In addition, the dedicated and motivated young team provides new ideas for the implementation and optimization of internal projects.

Vision Cloud First

TSG Hoffenheim's digital future is in the cloud. STACKIT's Professional Service manages the conception, migration planning and implementation of the necessary measures to make this vision a reality.

Contract management

TSG uses a solution on the data-sovereign STACKIT Cloud for the contract management of its players. This cost/benefit-optimized solution, which focuses on security and availability, was made possible through the use of managed service offerings in combination with classic SaaS elements.

Cash register systems and mobile payment

With its reliable and secure infrastructure, a new cash register backend system, which is securely and confidently hosted on the STACKIT Cloud, forms the backbone of all payment processes and transactions in the stadium.
