Axess makes game day run seamlessly 

Axess serves as a leading international manufacturer for ticketing and access management systems - a trusted process for sports clubs. 

Axess serves as a leading international manufacturer for ticketing and access management systems, putting in place a trusted process for sports clubs. 

The company has already achieved substantial reach and with an office in Australia (Currumbin Queensland)their services are right on our doorstep.  

Headquartered in Austria with production taking place in the city of Innsbruck, Axess currently has 20 offices in 16 different countries. 

Axess are specialists in individual solutions for ticketing and access management, software products to integrate own business areas and Customer Relationship Management (CRM) systems to manage consumer data. 

As Axess are able to cater for customers all around the world, they are also versatile with a variety of industries – their solutions are used by ski resorts, fair & convention centres, stadia & arenas, leisure parks, museums, sightseeing attractions and touristic transport. 

Axess can look at the unique fields and identify how to implement their expertise, with complete resort solutions, customer registration and customer loyalty programs with social media integration – as well as numerous standardised interfaces to third-party systems. 

To meet the needs of organisations, Axess will use the very best innovative hardware and the most modern software modules. This means they can offer a tailored service for every area of application. 

The hardware that Axess offers are suitable for any sporting event at a stadium, with customised areas to ensure a smooth process on game day. 

Venues are supported from start to finish by Axess, who provide systems that includes a layer of security so that it’s easy to know who is entering the stadium. 

As people arrive, Smart Gates can be used to verify exactly who is accessing certain parts of the venue. For example, to access a VIP area, a person would only be allowed in if they have an appropriate pass or accreditation, which would be scanned to give them the green light. A venue could even look at the Smart Security Gate for extra security protection to block ineligible patrons. 

This solution can be used in a similar manner for car parks, as Axess provide entrance and departure gates for those with motorised vehicles. This allows clubs to section off a particular area of their parking and reserve it for players, coaches, match officials and media personnel. 

When it comes to ticketing, Axess can assist clubs with both printing needs and digital implementation. They accommodate for fans at a personalised level, with a range of options available to collect their tickets for an event. For example, Axess offers a Pick Up Box that is accessible for people to collect the tickets they ordered online, meaning they’re not required to line up at tills.  

The Ticket Kiosk and Smart Printers by Axess are quick and easy solution for all parties, as customers can source what they need and therefore reduces crowded areas outside ticket kiosks in peak times, especially within half an hour of a big event starting. The technology on offer by Axess can print tickets in no time, covering a range of formats. 

However, as we know it has become important for patrons at an event to ‘check in’ using a QR code to register that they were there for Covid tracking purposes. Axess provides the option for people to purchase their tickets online and receive a code to enter the stadium. This gives all clubs the chance to implement this very important technology that becomes tracking software to identify anyone with symptoms of Covid-19.  

A QR code is also present on Axess’ Smart Cards, where they are more relevant to regular visitors of a stadium – members of a club. With an integrated chip, the card stores data of an individual for fast entry and is highly durable, so there’s no need to worry about replacing it.  

Whether it be those who like it old-fashioned or now tech-savvy, tickets by Axess come in all forms to create a user-friendly experience. 

The modules and equipment that Axess brings are state-of-the-art to match the ever-growing changes to technology. They are a flexible partner of access management, always looking for ways to be innovative in how their solutions can best fit any organisation.

Big Blue Marble: Delivering Broadcast-Grade Streaming to Sports Organisations Worldwide

Big Blue Marble live streaming platform InsysGO

Big Blue Marble is rapidly emerging as a leading partner for sports leagues, clubs, and federations looking to deliver high-quality live streaming and fan engagement experiences. Serving global clients such as SL Benfica, the German Football Association (DFB), the Disc Golf Network, and the Ultimate Pool Group, the company provides scalable, secure, and monetisable OTT solutions designed for the modern sports landscape.

At the heart of Big Blue Marble’s offering is its cloud-native platform, InsysGO, which enables sports organisations to stream live events, deliver personalised fan experiences, and access advanced analytics. By combining flexible technology with broadcast-grade reliability, Big Blue Marble empowers rights holders to maintain control over their content and build direct relationships with fans—key factors in today’s competitive sports streaming market.

A Unified Brand with Global Reach

Big Blue Marble came into existence in June 2025 when long-term partners ORS Group and Insys Video Technologies merged under a single brand identity. The name draws inspiration from the iconic “Blue Marble” photograph of Earth taken from space, symbolising global connectivity, innovation, and reach. It reflects the fusion of ORS’s broadcasting heritage and Insys’s OTT expertise, positioning Big Blue Marble as a trusted partner delivering future-ready media solutions to clients worldwide.

The merger was driven by the complementary strengths of the two companies. ORS brings decades of broadcast reliability, infrastructure knowledge, and operational discipline, while Insys contributes nearly twenty years of OTT innovation built on AWS-based cloud technology. Together, they provide a full-spectrum solution that spans traditional satellite broadcasting through to modern digital streaming.

Standing Out in a Saturated Market

In an increasingly crowded sports streaming market, Big Blue Marble distinguishes itself through its commitment to broadcast-grade performance. Its platforms combine scalability, reliability, picture quality, and security, all backed by continuous monitoring to guarantee optimal performance at every stage.

InsysGO, the company’s flagship solution, allows organisations to launch fully branded streaming platforms quickly and at scale. It integrates multi-DRM protection, device-level encryption, and secure content delivery to safeguard valuable sports rights. Beyond security, InsysGO provides live and on-demand video, monetisation tools, analytics, and multi-device access, enabling sports organisations to reach global audiences with confidence.

Success Stories in Sports Streaming

The Disc Golf Network provides a clear example of Big Blue Marble’s impact. Facing reliability issues with a previous OTT provider, the network turned to Big Blue Marble to engineer a custom platform capable of real-time event streaming at scale. The solution stabilised broadcasts, enhanced analytics, introduced flexible subscription options, and improved fan engagement. This case demonstrates how cloud-based architecture can transform live sports streaming, turning technical challenges into new revenue and engagement opportunities.

Other clients, including SL Benfica and the DFB, rely on Big Blue Marble’s solutions to deliver professional, reliable streaming experiences to fans worldwide. By marrying broadcast discipline with modern cloud technologies, the company ensures that every fan experience meets the expectations of today’s high-demand audiences.

Meeting Modern Fan Expectations

Modern sports fans demand seamless, high-quality streams that work across multiple devices. Big Blue Marble addresses this by delivering broadcast-level picture quality, minimal latency, and continuous real-time monitoring. Its platforms ensure uninterrupted viewing even during peak demand, while monetisation options like ad-supported streaming, tiered subscriptions, and pay-per-view allow organisations to maximise revenue while deepening fan relationships.

By controlling their own direct-to-consumer platforms, leagues and clubs reduce reliance on intermediaries, protect content from piracy, and unlock new income streams. Big Blue Marble’s modular architecture supports diverse business models, making it a practical choice for sports organisations seeking both operational control and financial growth.

Looking Ahead: Sport as a Strategic Focus

Sport represents a growing strategic focus for Big Blue Marble. Building on successes with European and global rights holders, the company aims to expand its international footprint and deliver increasingly immersive fan experiences. Direct-to-consumer (D2C) services are a key area of growth, with cloud technologies providing the scalability needed to support major live events.

Ultimately, Big Blue Marble’s ambition is to become the go-to global partner for sports organisations seeking to unify broadcast quality with digital innovation. By combining decades of broadcasting experience with cutting-edge cloud engineering, the company is positioned to redefine how sports content is delivered, monetised, and experienced worldwide.

Inside the Tech Revolution: How Veo Is Powering Campbelltown City SC’s Rise

Campbelltown City SC has taken a major step in football innovation with an expanded partnership with Veo technology, the AI-powered video platform transforming coaching and player development. The collaboration allows the club to analyse matches faster, track player growth, and deliver smarter insights to coaches and players. This aligns with a nationwide trend, as detailed in How Veo Is Transforming Football Coaching in Australia, where clubs are increasingly using video and analytics to gain a competitive edge.

Revolutionising Match Analysis

For Campbelltown’s coaching staff, Veo technology has become indispensable. Automated camera systems and in-depth analytics allow match reviews to be completed in minutes rather than hours, giving coaches detailed insights into player positioning, decision-making, and tactical execution. “The technology streamlines our work, helping us make more informed decisions faster,” a club spokesperson said.

Tracking Long-Term Player Development

Beyond individual matches, Veo enables coaches to monitor player and team growth over the season. Footage comparison, tactical analysis, and performance tracking help create a clear picture of long-term development—something traditional observation often struggles to capture. Match highlights and player clips have also strengthened engagement with the club community, offering parents and players memorable keepsakes from season-end presentations.

New Perspectives and Insights

Veo’s panoramic video provides a view of the game that is impossible to achieve from the sidelines alone. Coaches report improved understanding of spacing, transitions, and decision-making thanks to this technology. “The analytics confirmed what couldn’t always be seen on gameday,” one coach noted.

Preparing for an AI-Driven Future

Campbelltown City SC is already exploring Veo’s latest AI features, including automated match summaries and smart coaching suggestions, to support personalised player development. These tools further streamline feedback, helping the club maintain its position at the forefront of football innovation in Australia.
