Infosys grand slam: Partnering ATP to redefine data consumption ZDNet

In 2009, Abdul Razack, head of big data and analytics at Infosys, was watching the men's singles French Open tennis final when something happened that he said has stuck with him ever since. See how the cloud is disrupting traditional operating models for IT departments and entire organizations. Sweden's Robin Söderling had beaten four-time defending champion Rafael Nadal in the fourth round, and went on to cement his position in the final, where he faced Roger Federer. "Federer was down two sets -- down 0-30 -- and at that point he turned the entire match around," Razack said. "As a fan, that's the story that has stuck in my mind -- for someone to be able to go back and relive that match with the data that was captured in the umpire's chair, it's a powerful thing to do and improves the experience of the consumer, the media, opponents, and it's all around better for the game."
