Technology

In an increasingly digital age the role played by technology in the planning and staging of the Olympic and Paralympic Games is vital. 

We provide comprehensive solutions that connect, enable, inform and engage with our customers whether within the organisation, or across our stakeholder community and members of the general public.

To inform and engage

The Games-critical services provided by the Technology team ensure core competition information and accurate sport results are captured, produced and communicated to a worldwide audience.

We are working increasingly with new media technologies to use appropriate platforms to share vast amounts of information with an increasingly wide community to enable everyone to access, share and participate in the Games.

Technology plays a critical part in the planning and delivery of all our venues. We are responsible for the video boards, score boards and public announcement systems which will be used to inform, educate and entertain the audience within our stadiums, thus enhancing the spectator experience.

To connect

We will also install the network connectivity and infrastructure within and between our venues to allow the delivery of all the required services to meet client and public expectations at Games-time.

To enable

As well as directly supporting the delivery of the Games themselves, technology is instrumental in our business activities,  provideing the IT systems and security essential for the smooth running of the London Organising Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games as in any large modern business.

It enables coordinated planning, Games-time operations, and critical communication between the teams responsible for delivering this complex and high profile project

Working closely with our partners, we will make the best use of existing technologies and embrace innovative ideas where they improve our processes and efficiency.

We are determined to maximise sustainability by using technology intelligently to reduce power consumption and create less waste. This is how we will help deliver an inspirational and distinctive Games.
