SapientNitro has signed a multi-million pound deal with the Football League Interactive (FLi) to build a next generation digital platform for its member clubs.
The new platform, which will be delivered in the lead up to the 2012/2013 season, is expected to offer greater individuality for clubs and provide enhanced sponsorship opportunities. It will be optimised for speed and based on SDL Tridion, a Forrester Wave leading web content management system.

We are extremely excited about working with SapientNitro who will provide the necessary means for us to continue pushing the boundaries of our range of digital platforms.”
