Electronic data processing, smartphones, social networks – our
daily lives are unthinkable without modern information tech-
nology (IT).
DFB-Mediensees itself as a
specialized IT service
provider
for all of German football. Because elaborate structures
and online solutions are intended to
»
improve the flow of information
»
simplify communication
»
facilitate processes
The staff of DFB-Medien at the offices in Hanover and Frankfurt
focus on a variety of different software applications. The IT solu-
tion DFBnet optimizes the work of all operating divisions within
the
entire German football organization
. The DFB subsidiary
strives for
maximum quality
in all organizational segments. To
meet this goal, the software development incorporates the ex-
pertise from all associations.
Maybe these problems sound familiar: address
data duplicated and handled in different loca-
tions, cumbersome and time-consuming pa-
per-based processes, separate software pro-
cesses, local solutions to common association
practice, non-standardized procedures at asso-
ciations and clubs – time-intensive administra-
tive processes make sports organization more
difficult. However, that was before DFBnet. Now-
adays, everyone can work with the same data-
base, regardless of whether
full-time or volun-
tary staff
of associations or clubs are involved.
Today, the organization of German football is
unthinkable without DFBnet.
DFBnet is a
high-performance
,
networked
and
process-optimized
solution
supporting organi-
zational and administrative tasks in sports as-
sociations and clubs. The basis of the system
forms a central database, which can be accessed
by all DFBnet components.
The modules – mailbox system, pass request sys-
tem and club registration form – facilitate the
exchange of information
between associations
and clubs or officials.
The matchday operation module, the heart of
DFBnet, serves match operations. Its function-
ality includes division planning and referee ap-
pointment via the match report and a module
assigning disciplinary jurisdiction, through to a
variety of methods for recording match results.
Mobile applications
, such as the DFBnet app,
FUSSBALL.DE app, mobile match report or the
Liveticker for amateur matches compliment the
offer.
For clubs, DFB-Medien offers an
online club ad-
ministration
for state-of-the-art and prompt
processing of their administrative tasks: the on-
line club management and the supplementary
accounting module
online club finance. They
access a separate database which is created
by the respective clubs and which can only be
viewed by them.

You do not have to be an IT specialist to use the
DFBnet modules. Even club officials who seldom use a PC
either professionally or privately can learn the use quickly,
thus saving considerable time over the long term, so that
they can focus on their ongoing club tasks.
