Introduction

Efficient participant administration

Organisers work with Windata (remote) via the Internet directly on Datasport servers and as a result enjoy numerous advantages:

  • Participant data is stored on Datasport servers. Our data centre is designed for high security and protects against unauthorised access and hacking.
  • Datasport ensures the daily backups and protects you against data loss.
  • Several people can access the participant data simultaneously.
  • The Sport Service Manager has full access to the data at all times and can carry out important database operations.
