NBA – Large Venue Management Solution

This large venue manages the 21,000-capacity indoor arena home to a title winning National Basketball Association (NBA) team, and hosts various sporting events, concerts and VIP events each year. The large venue is also equipped with conference rooms and other office spaces that are rented by clients every year. EDI was selected by this NBA team to provide a large venue management system. EDI deployed IBM to effectively track, reserve and manage rentable spaces across the arena, coordinate, schedule, and execute work orders for maintenance and operations, as well as the tracking and reporting of environmental consumption, waste and carbon footprint for LEED certification.

Scope of Work Included:

This custom implementation to create an events-projects module yielded the ability to schedule sections of the arena for small events such as meetings and conferences as well as reserving the entire arena for concerts and other large events.
