How to Use Data and AI to Become World Champion Again

The DFB and his regional associations manage up to 80.000 football games every weekend. These games are an incredible source of data and the DFB is willing to use all this data to become the world champion again. One of the most important projects is THE “Database of german football” so you have a single and integrated point of truth. Frank Biendara, Managing Director for IT & Digital will share insides about this data platform and other digital projects within the german football at the new DFB Campus, Kennedyallee 274 in Frankfurt.
The question of “whether” data is used in German and international soccer is no longer an issue. The question is rather “how” the data is used and “which” data is used. This sounds simple, but a myriad of data sources also requires data integration. This also requires a sophisticated data strategy and appropriate technological support and architectures. To store, consolidate and integrate the data, the DFB is developing the “Database of German Football.” This analytical database will then serve as the basis for talent development both in top-level soccer at the German national teams – and in amateur soccer at the 25.000 clubs in Germany.
Here is the entire agenda for Thursday, May 12, 2022:

04:00 pm

Warm Welcome and Presentation of the DFB
By Frank Biendara, Managing Director of DFB GmbH & Co KG
DFB-Campus, Kennedyallee 274, 60528 Frankfurt/Main

04:30 pm

How to create the German Soccer Database and how to use AI to analyze and report about 80.000 games every weekend

05:30 pm

Guided tour of the DFB-Campus
At the moment, however, still a big construction site – but this will change till May 12

06:30 pm

Get-together on the Campus
Barbecue and Drinks

Jan Brecht, Chief Information Officer of Daimler and Mercedes-Benz, wants to make the Daimler IT CO₂-neutral in four years. As the first host at CIOmove 2021, he will give some insights about this plan on the opening day, Thursday, July 8, at the Mercedes-Benz Museum. 

For Jan Brecht it is important to make the digital transformation sustainable. Since the lion´s share of energy consumption comes from the data centers, he will explain how a sustainable data center strategy can look like while progressing with enterprise digitization and radical transformation plans.

Note: Due to the current Corona requirements, our opening evening at CIOmove 2021 is already fully booked. However, this may still change. Interested CIOs should get on a waiting list. Please contact horst.ellermann@ciomove.com quickly so that we can prepare our Corona test team for additional participants if necessary.

In preparation for CIOmove 2021 we had the chance to ask Jan some questions about sustainability in general:

CIOmove: Do companies have a role in keeping our planet habitable?
Brecht: Absolutely. Climate change threatens our way of life as well as the global economy. Not only is it in the long-term financial interest for companies to play a part, they also have an ethical obligation to be a part of keeping the planet habitable.

Do you believe that your position has a role to play in this?
Brecht: My role is to ensure and to support, that our organization never stands still and remains future-oriented. Here, sustainability is key. CIOs can contribute by steering their organizations towards more sustainable business practices – including further developing the technology needed to do so. I also believe it is important to stick to these values above and beyond the scope of just our company. This means ensuring the partners we choose to work with also have sustainability in focus.

Can your position protect the planet from ecological (and social) decline?
Brecht: I can contribute by staying vigilant and focused on constant and consistent progress. Each and every individual has a social responsibility to help protect the planet, and as CIO, I am in the position to help guide our organisation to have an even more positive, lasting impact.

Which projects do you manage that have a positive effect on the social and environmental impact of your company?
Brecht: With our new Green IT initiative, we are driving positive change and bundle several ongoing IT projects. For example, we are in the midst of a data center transformation with the goal of being CO2 neutral by 2025. We are moving our High-Speed Computing to the cooler Nordic countries, where they will be powered by 100% green or CO2 neutral energy, while at the same time drastically minimizing overall energy consumption. Daimler is committed to achieving carbon neutrality by 2039, and our IT plays a big role in reaching that target. One other Green IT example is our Paperless Factory, which significantly reduces waste and increases efficiency. Additionally, the Digital Twin project utilizes highly-accurate simulations to reduce the dependency on physical test vehicles and our Digital Workplace setup enables the increased prevalence of home office, thus reducing traffic and emissions.

Do you see a changing CIO function in that light?
Brecht: As sustainability should be a core element of every function moving forward, the role of CIO will certainly change. We can help our organizations uncover hidden opportunities to reduce resource and energy consumption, as well as to track the progress. By having more focus on this kind of data, we can not only bring benefit to our bottom line, we can help the environment at the same time.

How can IT save the planet?
Brecht: IT alone cannot save the planet. In order to have a lasting impact, we need a concentrated effort from all fronts – on a global scale. But IT will most certainly play an important role. We see every day how technology helps solve problems big and small and it is already being implemented in exciting ways to help save the environment.
