Partner Companies
DataCo is always interested in creating partnership agreements with companies where there is a synergy in the products/services being supplied. If you want to discuss an opportunity please contact us.

Data partner for Rights Holders
PA Sport's reputation for speed, accuracy and integrity; its expertise in information gathering, packaging and distribution; and its route to market make it the partner of choice for many sport federations, governing bodies, clubs and sponsors. PA Sport, a division of The Press Association Group, works with sports rights holders to help realise revenue from data and act as a media content partner supplying and managing a range of information services on behalf of these organisations. These can range from media guides and newsletters to full website management.

PA Sport and Football
PA Sport is the official data partner for Football DataCo, the company set up by the English Premier League, the English Football League and the Scottish Premier League to handle their data interests. PA Sport also co-owns the Actim name, the brand name for the official statistics of those leagues.

PA Sport also acts as official distributor of fixtures for those leagues and the Scottish Football League. PA Sport also manage and edit the English Premier League's official website, www.premierleague.com, produce a weekly media guide on behalf of sponsor Barclays and supply all 160+ overseas broadcasters which carry English Premier League footage with on-screen graphics.

Football Live
The Press Association has a unique system, Football Live, to provide real-time statistics and match analysis of football matches as they happen. The service covers every match in the top five divisions in England and the SPL.

PA employs ex-professional footballers to work as analysts at every game. From the stadium, the analyst describes all the actions that happen during the match. These are entered into a database and delivered either in real-time or stored and aggregated to provide other services. Live goals, results and statistics and a running text commentary on each match are delivered to broadcasters, Internet sites, bookmakers and mobile telephone services, while PA Sport delivers feeds and ready made pages and packages of results and statistics to a range of media including the print industry, Internet sites, mobile telecommunication companies, bookmakers and broadcasters.

Wholesaling
PA Sport is a wholesaler of football information and markets football's data in the UK and Ireland and across the world. The customer base for DataCo data now extends into all 160+ countries which carry Premier League broadcasts. PA Sport and DataCo also provide wholesale licences to other B2B organisations which in turn sell on the official data to media and bookmaking clients. Football's prime imperative in creating DataCo was to identify one single, official source of data. While PA Sport is the only organisation licensed to deliver live data from football grounds, DataCo makes that data available to other wholesalers via its wholesale licences. This allows those organisations, which previously had carried data gathering costs themselves, to buy in the official data and continue to supply existing customers and compete in the market to supply new ones.
