GreenPark Sports and DataRobot today announced a licensing agreement that will embed AI-driven insights into every step of GreenPark Sports’ fan engagement process. GreenPark Sports’ data science team is led by gaming industry veteran, Alan Miller, SVP Analytics and co-founder of Activision. DataRobot’s best-in-class machine learning technologies will allow GreenPark Sports to deliver a more personalized experience as it seeks to understand and engage its playerbase.

“GreenPark Sports is a compelling extension of our sizable sports and gaming client base,” said Andrew Engel, General Manager, Sports and Gaming, DataRobot. “Our customers already include several professional baseball, basketball and hockey teams, and GreenPark Sports has outlined a compelling vision for how they will use our platform to engage sports and esports fans.”

And to accomplish that requires best-in-class machine learning technology. We selected DataRobot to provide this not simply for their superior technology but also for their significant experience applying it to sports and gaming.”
