With the first quarter of 2013 now behind us, I marvel at the transformation that SportsBoard is undergoing.

With the signing of University of Maryland’s Athletic Department late last year, we shifted our focus to athletic departments and have discovered a lot of interest there. Now actively engaged with more than 50 college and universities at the department-wide level, SportsBoard’s blend of assessment and contact management functionality for recruiting is really hitting a nerve. And we now offer Softball and Tennis to our family of products, enabling us to support up to 18 different sports programs at all levels of collegiate, and even high school, sports.

During Q1, we also shifted our focus to camps, where we have received substantial interest in our mobile player assessment solutions from a video and PDF evaluation perspective. Camps have always wanted to deliver better evals more efficiently to their customers. Before SportsBoard, these evals were hampered by technology; now, SportsBoard enables camps to capture eval data easily and distribute evals within hours of camps end, not days or weeks, and without adding loads of administrative staff.

This “paperless” crusade we embarked on 18 months ago is gaining more and more momentum every day. The resistance to changing from paper to digital is declining by the week, and it’s exciting to see.

We live in a 24/7 world now. No matter what business you are in, to be most competitive, you need information from which you can make better decisions as quickly as possible. Our mission here at SportsBoard is to enable coaches and camp operators save time, save $$$$, and improve productivity and efficiency.
