Data
organized by Season
The Sports Information Desk uses the
concept of a "Season" to organize and store team, player and
game information.
Using our
Season technology™,
you can create a Season for any team or player in any sport. When you
open a Season, a
 statistics "sport package" designed
specifically for your Season's sport is loaded. The software also accesses
the Season's internal database and any associated external documents to present
you with all of the information relevant to the current Season.
This approach to managing sports
information enables SID and GameDiary
to support virtually every sport,
eliminating the need to buy or learn multiple software applications!
Since we usually associate sports information and our memories of
sporting events with
a team or player's sport season, this approach is the natural way to
organize team, player and game information.
 Our
Season-based design also make it easy for you to quickly access your
sports information. Seasons are opened in the same way you
would open a word processing document, spreadsheet or picture file.
For a large organization, this approach eliminates time consuming
searches through file cabinets or hundreds of folders on your PC to
locate the player, team or game
information you need.
Centralized, quick access to ALL of your sports
information
You can think of SID as your sports information
control panel. SID lets you manage all of this
season information (i.e., team, player and game information) from a single source and does so for all of your sports.
It provides almost instant access to both the
information that you create within SID and the documents that you
produce using your existing software tools. While schedules,
rosters, and player bios are maintained within SID, you can also have
direct access to your media guides, PDF files and any other externally
created documents.
With its ability to not only manage, but also create
external documents directly from within its interface, SID provides you
with a natural, more document-centric environment to manage your sports
information. Your Seasons, and the information they contain,
become the central focus of your work process as opposed to the various
tools (e.g. Microsoft Word, Excel, Acrobat, etc.) which you use to
create this information.

user interface.
Sharing Season data with players and within the
organization
In addition to providing you with quick centralized
access to your sports information, the Sports Information Desk can also
help you share your information with others. Seasons can be shared
via your organization's local network with other SID users. You
can also create Player CD's that contain a Season plus a read only
version of GameDiary.
Reduce paper-based files
Since each Season can encompass all of your sports
information associated with a given team and its players, you have the
option to easily store this information on a CD, DVD or some other media
or offline storage. For Media Relations departments, this provides
a real opportunity to reduce your paper-based files and free up office
space used by large file cabinets.
