Local Tech Firm Delivers New NCAA NIL Product

Viagio Technologies, a Kansas City-based custom software development firm, is helping Lincoln-based Opendorse expand its product offering in collegiate sports with innovation, collaboration, and best-in-class design.

October 6, 2021 · Viagio Technologies

Kansas City, Missouri — Local software development firm, Viagio Technologies, formerly Artisan Technology Group, has partnered with Opendorse, a sports technology company, to accelerate technology solutions for the college-athlete endorsement industry in time for the Name, Image, and Likeness changes. Speed to market is a critical factor to Viagio clients. As a high-growth software company, Opendorse’s development teams were already working on major updates and extensions to their platform to support strategic initiatives and partnerships. And while they were actively hiring and growing their team, the opportunity in college sports meant they had to move fast to take advantage of it.

“We look for clients that want to build innovative solutions that will have a meaningful impact to their business and their industry. Opendorse was uniquely positioned to do both extremely quickly.”
~ Steve Timperly, Chief Revenue Officer, Viagio Technologies

As of July 1st, 2021, several states changed their rules around the ability for athletes to earn an income from their Name, Image, and Likeness. This represented one of the biggest changes collegiate sports have ever seen. The kind of change that creates an entire industry overnight. Opendorse needed a partner with proven engineering processes and experience to quickly work with their team to design and build a new solution to help universities and collegiate athletes navigate the changes coming to the industry. Already a leader in the space, Opendorse was uniquely positioned to drive great opportunities from these changes. And, thanks to the collaborative partnership with Viagio, Opendorse was able to launch their brand-new ‘Monitor’ product on the day the rules changed. “At Viagio, we look for clients that want to build innovative solutions that will have a meaningful impact to their business and their industry. Opendorse was uniquely positioned to do both extremely quickly.” Steve Timperley, Chief Revenue Officer at Viagio, says. “Viagio has been so fortunate to work with Opendorse in building a solution that went from concept to a revenue-generating product in three months and is having a massive impact in their industry. It’s one of the most exciting projects we’ve been a part of and it’s incredible to see how well Opendorse is executing on their product vision.”

This dedication to finding new ways to attack their client’s problems is paying off. When asked, Mike Zimmerman, Chief Executive Officer at Viagio said, “when beginning an engagement, we focus on co-innovating with our clients’ leadership team to create technology that not only solves a root problem, but gives them a competitive advantage over others in their industry.” Viagio Technologies continues to align with companies that are seeking innovation through the use of technology as they continue to scale for growth.
