"Clearly, FIFA organises incredibly large-scale, high-profile tournaments. In fact, we host the world’s most widely viewed sporting events, with as many as 28 billion people watching the 2006 tournament. As such, we cannot afford even a second's downtime, even during the huge usage spikes throughout games," said FIFA head of information technology solutions Michael Kelly. "That is why we have chosen the reliability, flexibility, and reusability of Satyam’s applications. This is the start of a long-term relationship that will see Satyam working closely with FIFA over the next few years." Previously, IT systems for major sporting events have been the province of companies such as IBM, Lenovo and Unisys. Keshab Panda, senior vice president, director, and head of Satyam's European operations said "We are delighted to have been chosen to deliver such critical applications for FIFA, and are committed to ensuring the success of managing its event logistics and Extranets/Intranet platforms."
