University of Alabama Partners with ACS Athletics to Improve Performance

September 4th, 2009 Posted in Announcements

The University of Alabama athletics department has chosen the ACS InControl™ athletic management system as its centralized database to support the sharing of student-athlete information, facilitate improved compliance monitoring and streamline operations for coaches.

The University of Alabama athletics department features 18 varsity sports teams. The department provides services to over 500 student-athletes and competes as a member of the Southeastern Conference.  Although the athletics department is recognized as one of the best collegiate programs in America, their organization faces the same challenges as all athletic departments regarding performance and maintaining institutional control. Like most departments, bridging the gap between the needs of coaches and oversight of critical student-athlete, compliance and operational information represents tremendous challenges.

“At Alabama, we selected ACS Athletics because they best understood the complex nature of our industry and unique challenges facing athletic departments today,” said Mike Ward, Associate Athletic Director of Compliance at The University of Alabama. “Our coaches were drawn to their custom configurations and ease of use, freeing up additional time to coach. Our administration was impressed with how much more effectively we can manage and monitor the flow of critical recruiting, compliance and business information.  ACS will free up resources while increasing monitoring and control. The decision to implement ACS was an easy one.”

“ACS Athletics is a very coach and compliance centric company. Our products, combined with our extensive support and training services, enables our company to help athletic departments perform at a higher level by increasing efficiency, monitoring and communication, said Rayan Rutledge, VP of Business Development at ACS Athletics. “InControl™ offers flexibility, scalability and lower cost of operations, all of which are critical in today’s challenging economy. We are honored to be working with the University of Alabama athletics department and are excited about our role in helping their coaches gain a competitive advantage.”

“Our products enable athletic departments of any size to manage performance across their organization and see a complete picture of the student-athlete life-cycle™, said Kevin Bresser, VP of Sales at ACS Athletics. “ACS is the only company helping customers automate processes that align the coaches’ operational objectives with compliance and business objectives. This type of cohesion is critical for programs like Alabama when it comes to maintaining institutional control and driving revenue and profitability.”
