Coyotes Howl for Mobile Playbook, Hope it Bolsters NHL Playoff Chances

Whether your favorite professional sports team is ready to provide the best 360-degree sports viewing experience may depend on how tech savvy they are in house, and the Phoenix Coyotes appear ready to take a leadership role in that department. Often an NHL also-ran,  the Coyotes already have on their team Paul Bissonnette, who scores few goals but is the NHL standard-bearer for Tweets @BizNasty2point0.

Now, the NHL franchise is preparing to distribute playbooks, scouting content and other confidential team information to Android smartphones and iPads.

The Coyotes have signed a deal with Malvern, Penn.-based Modevity, which is best known for its work in the banking and life sciences industry, to distribute sensitive content to team members and management. The data will be encrypted to prevent it from falling into the wrong hands.  And while it may seem unusual for a professional sports team to be using the same platform used to distribute financial data to investment bankers and genome information to medical researchers, team officials are optimistic.

“Modevity, LLC has created an innovative product we will implement to improve both our on-ice and off-ice performance,” said Phoenix Coyotes General Manager Don Maloney.

Modevity’s technology could play a big part in the 2011-2012 NHL season, as the Coyotes’ have playoff hopes.  The team is 2-1-1, good for third place in the NHL Western Conference Pacific Division. The Coyotes will distribute its information as a Software as a Service (SaaS), minimizing the internal resources and capital expenditures the team would need to securely distribute confidential information if it were doing it alone.

Modevity may not be done in the sports world. National Football League teams are reportedly using Modevity technology, although those deals have not yet been announced, and the names of the teams could not be confirmed.
