Melbourne 2006 Commonwealth Games Uses Integrated Solution From Partners to Build Web Site

Overview

The Melbourne 2006 Commonwealth Games met all expectations: pageantry, athletic skill, moments of sporting magic, and a stunning haul of gold medals for the host country. The Melbourne 2006 Commonwealth Games Corporation (M2006) needed a Web site to deliver schedules, venue and transport information, team and athlete profiles, photos, and up-to-the-minute news and results from 16 sports during the 12 days of the Games. Microsoft, the Official Technology Partner for the Games, built and operated the Web site between April 2005 and March 2006. Working with local partners Devtest, Readify, and Telstra, Microsoft Services consultants at the Microsoft Solutions Development Centre built the site on a wide range of Microsoft software.
