Delivering London 2012: ICT Enabling the Games
Delivering the London 2012 Games is set to become one of the largest single ICT achievement stories of the 21st Century. The UK eco-system of suppliers and partners have been diligently working, since being awarded the games in July 2005, to ensure the experience of the most digitally enabled games ever, to be positive and demonstrate the strength of the UK ICT profession and community worldwide.
The Olympic Delivery Authority, London Organising Committee of the Olympic Games, The Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), ICT Knowledge Transfer Network (ICT KTN) and UK Trade & Investment have come together to deliver this IET special interest publication.
The IET special interest publication, Delivering London 2012: ICT Enabling the Games, identifies and demonstrates the innovation, legacy, best practice and lessons learned from the ICT delivery of the Games and provides recommendations for future projects and programmes.
