They host five sports teams across hockey, football, and lacrosse in two different stadiums that attract large audiences for games, concerts, and conventions. The company uses Windows 11 Pro to stay secure and productive in everything they do, from broadcast systems to in-game feeds to business operations.<\/p>\n<p><strong>About the company <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Founded in 1980, Calgary Sports and Entertainment Corporation is a professional sports and entertainment company based in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. The company owns and operates five franchises across hockey, football, and lacrosse: the NHL\u2019s Calgary Flames, the WHL\u2019s Calgary Hitmen, the NLL\u2019s Calgary Roughnecks, the CFL\u2019s Calgary Stampeders, and the AHL\u2019s Calgary Wranglers. They also manage the Scotiabank Saddledome and McMahon Stadium; both venues attract large audiences for sporting events, concerts, and conventions.<\/p>\n<p>Keeping all of those balls\u2014and pucks\u2014in the air isn\u2019t easy, but Calgary Sports has a helping hand. As Vice President of Technology Ziad Mehio explains, \u201cFrom our coaching videos to our broadcast systems, from our in-game feeds to our business ops, everything we do runs on Windows 11 Pro. We\u2019re a fan,\u201d he smiles, adding that the company uses Microsoft Teams to collaborate between departments and stadiums, and to engage with players and scouts around the world.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cOur office is a 450,000 square foot arena\u201d <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Ziad oversees all technology at Calgary Sports, from mobile apps to jumbo screens, stadium Wi-Fi to stadium point-of-sale systems. Security is always top of mind for him: \u201cOur fans share a lot of their data with us to make their lives easier. It\u2019s our most important asset, and it\u2019s imperative we keep it secure and keep that trust with our fans.\u201d Ziad appreciates the layers of security built into Windows 11 Pro, like TPM 2.0 and enhanced phishing and credential protection. As he says, \u201cOn event days, we go into a hockey game or a concert and host 20,000 people. We have multiple devices throughout the arena, and it\u2019s really important that they are all secured, all the time.\u201d That\u2019s why he likes lock on leave, a new feature that combines presence detection sensors with Windows Hello for Business to keep devices secure anywhere. It locks your device when you step away and wakes when you approach\u2014security that\u2019s effective yet effortless.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cWindows 11 Pro allows us to focus on our fans, not our devices\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The fan experience is priority number one for Calgary Sports. \u201cWhen someone leaves the building and they want to be back here the next day because their experience was so good, that to us is success\u2014irrespective of what happens on the ice,\u201d explains Ziad. Naturally, he would rather spend his time optimizing the fan experience instead of optimizing devices. Windows 11 Pro takes care of that, as he points out: \u201cOur people found it very easy to use and to transition from what we had before; they love the look and feel.\u201d Ziad doesn\u2019t have to worry about compatibility either. The company uses several specialized software applications, and they all play together nicely with Windows 11 Pro. Says Ziad, \u201cWe have analytics software, broadcast software, rendering software. Every department has specific software that they run, and it all works seamlessly with Windows 11 Pro.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.asipartner.com\/marketing\/MicrosoftCA\/2023\/Windows11-Onward-CustomerStory-CalgarySports.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Read the full Calgary Sports and Entertainment customer story &gt;<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.asipartner.com\/canada\/partners\/windows-11-pro-drive-business-onward\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Learn more<\/strong> <\/a>about the benefits and features of Windows 11 Pro.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Contact your ASI Account Manager for more information at <a href=\"mailto:sales@asipartner.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">sales@asipartner.com<\/a> or 888-2000-ASI.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Calgary Sports and Entertainment Corporation is a professional sports and  [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":8569,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"content-type":"","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8564","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.3 (Yoast SEO v26.3) -
