SAP sailing into social metrics

As the technical partner for the Extreme Sailing Series and sponsor of its own team in the competition, SAP uses data to enhance the experience of fans and sailors alike. While measuring key start line parameters including: angle to wind, favoured side and advantage, all in real-time, the company also analyzes social media to measure the event’s reach.

The Extreme Sailing Series returned to Singapore’s Marina Bay over the weekend of February 22 and 23. This is the eighth year of the global circuit and the first time the island nation hosted the race’s opening round. For 2014, SAP set out to deliver both pre and post-race, analysis, providing sailors, media and fans with deeper insight into the action on the water as part of a marketing effort to showcase the company’s data capabilities.
