Info-Tech Blueprint Tackles Sports Venue Tech Fragmentation

Arlington, Va. – September 07, 2026 -- Info-Tech Research Group has published a new blueprint, Build a Venue Platform Operating Model, addressing a structural gap between accountability and authority that leaves sports CIOs responsible for game-day fan experience despite lacking control over the systems that deliver it.
