Quick, reliable, and secure transfer of digital assets facilitates team training, preparation and performance

CLEARWATER, Fla., July 19, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — TeamViewer^®, a leading global provider of remote connectivity and workplace digitalization solutions, announced that Manchester United – one of the most popular and successful sports teams in the world and currently on Pre-season Tour 2023, presented by Snapdragon, in the US – has deployed TeamViewer Tensor to facilitate continuous access to the data they need for performance analysis and game preparation. When away from home the team now has enterprise-grade connectivity between their analysts, and by extension coaching team and players, and their UK-based server at their training ground.

To always be on top of their game, the Manchester United analyst and coaching teams leverage match data for performance analysis of gameplay, before and after matches. Access to large files such as raw videos and data assets while traveling meant the team at times, needing to spend significant time, saving, uploading and storing files to different locations or on external drives. With this access the coaching teams can request what they need from the analysts to ensure they are fully prepared going into a match and even during games.

With TeamViewer Tensor, the team can quickly and securely access files on their Manchester-based servers from anywhere in the world. Remote access has removed the uncertainty the analysts often had about accessing their training materials and performance data when the team were traveling or playing an away match. TeamViewer Tensor is also helping the team to remotely manage and change content on the video wall displays in the players’ gym, enabling the coaching team to highlight specific content they’d like the players to focus on during gym sessions.

“With so much to consider and prepare before a match, we need quick, reliable and secure access to the right training materials and videos. Easy access to our full suite of training materials when we’re traveling gives us more time to focus on strategy for the match,” said Paul Brand, Head of 1st Team Analysis at Manchester United.

“Access to training and performance analysis is key to success in professional sports where seconds matter. TeamViewer is experienced in enabling quick, reliable and secure connectivity to meet this challenge for the world’s most elite teams. Our enterprise remote connectivity platform, Tensor, provides Manchester United with the certainty and performance that is mandatory when operating at the top of their game. We’re proud to support the entire team as they leverage technology to help Manchester United perform at their best,” said Peter Turner, Chief Commercial Officer at TeamViewer.

Manchester United’s coaching staff can leverage Tensor to access a huge variety of videos and data to prepare, motivate and coach the team through each match. Further, every player has easy access to team assets from their smartphone or tablet while on the go. To ensure security, each team member must login via their unique credentials. With the platform, the technology partnership has ensured that the software rollout across the club has been very successful.
