Columba Interactive Sport Fixtures Calendars
Columba has developed technology that makes it very easy to present visitors to your website with an online calendar that lists sports fixtures for a club, league or an entire range of sports.
The Columba Calendar Platform can replace simple and static fixture lists with a calendar that is flexible, interactive and allows fixture information to be located with only a few clicks of a mouse.
The calendar uses tabs to display fixtures by sport, tournament or league while search and date navigation facilities let your fans view events for a specific day, a venue or search by team or event name.
You can include fixture data from multiple sources including databases, data feeds and content management systems. Columba also provides comprehensive and accurate fixture data on a wide range of sports.
The platform includes a simple event publishing system that lets you enter and update fixture information without the need for IT skills. This is very useful when making last minute changes such as a delayed kick off time.
The platform can scale from a single club with fifty fixtures to a sports portal with five thousand fixtures and fifty million viewers.
The Columba Calendar Platform will let your readers and fans:
- Geo-locate sports events.
- Synchronise fixtures with their personal iCal and Outlook 2007 calendars. All new fixtures added to the calendar will automatically appear on their PCs without the need to revisit the website and download files.
- Enjoy a greatly enhanced look and feel with improved search and navigation facilities.
The platform operates as a micro site that seamlessly integrates into your website using the same look and feel and is hosted and supported by Columba leaving you free from the hassle of system maintenance.
Columba is the leader in event calendar systems. Why bother 're-inventing the wheel' when you can benefit from proven technology for a much lower cost?
Columba used the platform to create a Sports Calendar in partnership with the Telegraph Media Group. To view the application, go to sportcal.telegraph.co.uk
