CoachWeb : Data Partner Access

The Data Partner access is designed to allow organisations in sport to receive and share information between CoachWeb and custom databases and I.T. systems.

By subscribing as a Data Partner access if gained to the verified, up-to-date and quality assured information from CoachWeb through in-house or custom built applications.

How does CoachWeb work for Data Partners?

A central principle of CoachWeb is to make the data available to partners beyond the bounds of the web based system. This is made possible with a web service API that allows external systems to read and write information to and from CoachWeb.

The web service is already successfully embedded with partners and offers a scalable route to share information within the sports network.

What are the benefits of integrating your organisation with the CSPs?

The gain for national organisations is to receive "grass-roots" information relating to their sport from the CSPs and open up a local communication channel to the coaches via CSPs, LA and SSPs.

• Easier publication of training courses into the CSP network
• Improve access to coaches via a locally branded medium
• Receive live data updates from the wider sports network
• Deal with CSPs through a single system (rather than 49 different ones)
• Provide a link with CSPs to validate qualifications and licences easier

In addition to improved information sharing with Data Partners CSPs receive the operational benefit of accessing data inputted en-masse by Data Partners.

• Receive up-to-date lists of qualifications directly from the governing bodies
• Updated lists of programmes on which coaches are participated
• Automatically receive syndicated event and course information
• Reduce the "spreadsheet-swapping" between partners
• Reduce admin in shifting content from national to local websites
