Colin Le Conte, Digimap's Managing Director, was on the NatWest International Island Games Organising Committee and was IT Director for the whole event.
At last night’s Channel Island Sports awards, the Guernsey’s Island Games Organising Committee was awarded the Judges Award for Achievement.
Colin said, “The Island Games was a massive team effort, and we could not have done it without an amazing Organising Committee with a wide range of skills, experience and expertise, led by Dame Mary Perkins. The support of the 1,200 volunteers and the support and enthusiasm of all the people of Guernsey will make the event most memorable for me”.
The IT role was a massive task, providing the central results service, internet access at all the venues, Microsoft Office licences, live streaming, digital signage and IT support at every venue. Colin wanted to thank Sure International, who was selected as the Island Games Technology Partner.
“Sure delivered everything they promised and used their considerable experience, knowledge and resources to provide a first class service at every venue. They even provided every competitor and official with a 5Gb SIM, so they had connectivity throughout Guernsey”.
Colin wanted to especially thank his team of Matt Polson, Nick Whalley and Tim Stonebridge for their support and project management skills. “The amount of work they put in before the event was key to the success of all aspects of the IT during the event, and I could not have done it with them”.
Digimap was very proud to provide a wide range of services to the NatWest International Island Games.
