Neudesic was recognized by Microsoft at their annual Microsoft Dynamics Convergence conference for achieving Excellence in Innovation in Microsoft Dynamics CRM.

This award honors Neudesic’s successful implementation of a Microsoft CRM with a Silverlight interface that manages scheduling for the United States Olympic Training Centers.

Critical to the success of the USOC and all American Olympic and Paralympic teams, team members, coaches, and individuals are the United States Olympic Training Centers. The United States Olympic Training Centers are strategically and geographically located across the United States in areas best suited for training. The primary locations include Chula Vista (San Diego area), California; Lake Placid, New York; and Colorado Springs, Colorado. The solution has been architected in a manner that provides for flexibility of adding new facilities and resources. As observers of these great athletes and fascinating sporting events, we think of the Olympics every two years. For the athletes and those that support them however, the dream is only achieved through a robust 24 x 7, 365-day-a-year operation.

Each training center includes massive facilities that house thousands of athletes each year and serve as training grounds for the best of the best in the United States. For example, The U.S. Olympic Training Center in Chula Vista rests on a 150-acre complex in San Diego County. The center has sport venues and support facilities for nine Olympic sports: archery, canoe/kayak, cycling, field hockey, rowing, soccer, softball, tennis, and track and field. Through programs developed by the national governing bodies of each sport, an estimated 4,000 athletes each year will receive the coaching and support and facilities necessary to be their best. The numbers are increasing annually.

The Colorado Springs facility not only includes team and individual training facilities but also the administrative and headquarters for the USOC.

Each of these facilities requires complex management of numerous locations, transportation mechanisms, dormitories, athletic fields, gymnasiums, food programs, and facilities to manage the movements and activities of the thousands of athletes who depend upon their services. The success of the U.S. Olympic Teams is a direct result of the complex management of thousands of activities, people, teams, and resources across these three key facilities.
