In a major development which will result in significant benefits for clients, Team Academy Pro is now part of professional football’s leading supplier of information management solutions, Scout7 Limited.

In operation since 2001, Scout7 currently delivers web-based management applications to over 100 professional clubs across the UK, Europe, North America and Asia. Their core product, ProScout7, has revolutionized working practices in player recruitment departments at clubs around the world. This has been done by championing the management of all scouting data online, utilizing a similar model adopted by users of Team Academy Pro for internal management.

The considerable additional resource invested into Team Academy Pro by Scout7 will ultimately result in shortened timescales for system development and will also mean that each club will now have an ongoing development and consultancy dialogue with Scout7’s UK Account Management team, in addition to the existing support provided by Team Academy Pro staff.

Scout7’s Chairman, the former Aston Villa Deputy Chief Executive Mark Ansell, explains why Scout7 have made the investment into acquiring Team Academy Pro.

“Team Academy Pro has a number of unique selling points, particularly in internal and external communication, which is simply not available in similar applications across the industry. The fact that they already have eight clients having only been trading for just over a year speaks volumes. What we want to do with them is take their solution onto the next level – which will be done with further investment into their talented technology team and in working hands-on with their growing client base to ensure development remains focused to their needs.”
