“PRO Rugby is further benefiting from its partnership with ONE World Sports because of the relationship in place with ONE CONNXT,” said Chris Lavin, ONE CONNXT’s Chief Technology Officer. “As a benefit of ONE World Sports selecting ONE CONNXT as the tranport provider, it allows PRO rugby to quickly, easily and inexpensively deliver to AOL and later, other distribution partners they may choose. The oppourtunity with AOL arrived quickly and in the 11th hour, but due to ONE CONNXT s technology infrastructure, we were able to quickly respond to the challenge and within hours setup and began testing with AOL to guarantee a high quality delivery into AOL’s infrastructure. We couldn’t be happier that our technology allowed us to support our clients in ways they didn’t even have in mind when we were selected as the transport provider.”
