Infosys Sports Destination Solution
Satisfying the hyper-informed customer
In the Flat World, Communications Service Providers (CSPs) must provide compelling user-experiences to retain customers. CSPs must become "experience providers" to address current challenges such as convergence on a single device.
Although Voice, data and video services are available on a single network, convergence is not possible on a single device.
The existing value-added services are unable to provide fulfilling experiences. As a result, majority of customers do not subscribe to these services.
Web 2.0, emerging as the new standard for hyper-informed customers, can address these challenges. Customers can now exchange data, products and services with each other 24/7 from any place.

Infosys' Solution - A Lifestyle Convergence Portal
Community portals enable CSPs to provide customers with experiences that integrate into their lifestyle. Lifestyle community portals engage customers and offer companies opportunities to monetize daily interactions through up-sell, commerce and advertising.
Infosys Sports Destination solution 
is an event-based lifestyle convergence portal incorporating social networking to facilitate group interactions during sports events. Such interactions are supported across the Web, mobile and IPTV.
For instance, at a sports event, user-generated content can be shared along with scorecards and match updates. A spectator can use a mobile phone to capture a “live” match and share it with people in a contact list.
