Due to issues with the service and a breakdown in the relationship, the ITTF is ending the relationship early, which means that there will be some disruption from the usual result management and database service.

Whilst this is not ideal, the ITTF is excited and optimistic about the future of its information technology, as it is now able to find a partner with the know how and expertise to create a state-of-the-art results management system and information technology system to be able to take the promotion of table tennis to the next level.

The conclusion of the information technology relationship with TMS International follows the ITTF’s decision to take back all its commercial rights from TMS International at the start of 2017, which now means that the ITTF will run all commercial and IT business in house.
