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.

Windata (remote) environment

Organisers can work remotely in the database via the Windata (remote) environment and make changes. The solution satisfies the highest demands in terms of performance, availability and security.
