Our take

Within the world of tech and media, partnerships and mergers are often the best way to keep up with trends and innovations. Ellipse Data, a sports data analysis company is an example of how successful these partnerships can be. A triumvirate of CricViz, Stuart Farmer Media Services (SFMS), and TennisViz, Ellipse Data analyses sports matches and uses the data to explain what is happening - and what could happen during a match or event in real-time.

There doesn’t appear to be evidence of Ellipse Data using its machine learning tool for the gambling industry, but the implications of the technology it uses do have far-reaching potential across many different industries. At present, the company has partnerships with the International Cricket Council and the United States Tennis Association among other leading sports championships and uses its data to provide presenters and sports analysts with status reports and potential strategies for victory.

With each company that comprises Ellipse Data focusing on a specific sport, the company could scale up by expanding its remit from just cricket, tennis, and rugby. But with the worldwide popularity of each of those sports, Ellipse Data has an in-built market already.
