    After the conference championships they're going to have two weeks to prepare for the Super Bowl, however, that seems like a long time but there's a lot to be done. The other thing is not only do you have to develop the game plan but then you have to communicate that to the players and they also have to practice, right? Some of the plays and such to make sure everybody's on the same page. So I think just the cycle time of being able to analyze the massive amounts of data now that are out there with all the cameras, and sensors and everything, make heads or tails of it and then be able to translate that into an actionable plan that you can actually practice, and then be able to come out and execute. It's just amazing the amount of data analytics that goes into that nowadays. - Walt DeGrange, Director of Analytics Capabilities, CANA
