Sports Competition Management
The Client
Seamless Technology was founded to provide software that links together all the various stakeholders in organising and managing competitive school sport at all levels...competitors, teachers, parents, SGOs, county sports partnerships, school sports associations and governing bodies.
Their first product, PEresults, is a competition management tool designed and developed with PE staff and School Sport League Secretaries. A low cost solution that maximizes productivity and minimizes administration time for all staff involved in arranging, managing and reporting on competitive school sport.
The PEresults website displays live competition results, facilitates collection and upload of participation data, and assists in compliance with regulatory criteria. More than 2,000 schools benefitting from PEresults software after just a year since on the market.
PEresults is aiming to become the default choice for result recording in school sport.
The Problem
The PEresults website has been running for a number of years and provides a valuable service to the local school sports community. Unfortunately, through circumstances outside their control, they lost access to their server and domain.
The website remained live, but Seamless Technology were no longer able to make changes to it, and there was uncertainty about how long the site would remain hosted.
Each new school year also necessitates an update to the system to roll it forward and archive older data. With this pending deadline, Seamless Technology contacted us for assistance.
The Solution
Enhanced Coding were able to track down the source code for the website, and locate the necessary settings and details of domain ownership. After configuring a new hosting provider, we were able to get the code re-published ready for testing.
Once confirmed, Enhanced Coding transferred all existing data across and after re-establishing control of the domain we were able to transition the whole site across to a new provider under Seamless Technologies direct control - with minimal downtime or disruption.
The Site was then updated to not only roll it forward to the new school year, but to greatly simplify this process for future years.
The website can be found at www.peresults.co.uk, and if you’re member of PE staff or involved in organising school sports competitions, we would encourage you to get in touch with them.
The Technology
PEresults is a .Net 4.0 Web Forms application written in C#, with a SQL server backend.
Testimonial
When we contacted Enhanced Coding we were concerned for the future of our site. We had become isolated from our servers and there was a hard deadline looming for getting the system updated.
Thanks to Enhanced Coding, we ended up with an updated website, back under our control, and on a cheaper hosting plan than before!
I would have no hesitation recommending them, or their project rescue services – we’re one happy customer.
