HPE Services, will help the club with the design, implementation, project management and operational expertise to accelerate deployment and time to value while the HPE Managed Services will provide ongoing operational support to help optimize performance and resilience across the Spurs’ IT environment.

Rob Pickering, Chief Technology Officer, Tottenham Hotspur Football Club, commented,

“Our goal isn’t simply to refresh our infrastructure. It’s to build a simpler, more resilient technology environment that gives us the flexibility to innovate for years to come, streamline operations and support the Club’s long-term growth. By bringing together AI, hybrid cloud, networking, services, and financial solutions through a single strategic partner, HPE is helping us simplify operations so our teams can focus on supporting every part of the Stadium, from match days to third-party events and day-to-day operations, rather than managing technology. Ultimately, the best technology is invisible to our fans.”

Matt Harris, senior vice president & managing director, UK, Ireland, Middle East & Africa, HPE, added,

“Sport and entertainment venues are becoming increasingly connected and data-driven, and this partnership reflects a shared commitment to building the digital foundation required to support that evolution. Together, we’re helping Spurs build an AI-driven technology backbone that powers every aspect of the stadium, from critical operations behind the scenes to the digital experiences supporters enjoy on match days and beyond.”
