Humberto Farias was having a beer in a German pub two years ago when he got a call he had been waiting for.It was Orlando City Soccer Club Chief Information Officer Renato Reis, who wanted Farias’ company Concepta Group to build a highly immersive mobile app for the young MLS team.“I drank in honor of Renato that day,” Farias said.While partnerships can help legitimize a growing company and provide high-profile examples of the work they can do, teams including Orlando City and the NBA’s Orlando Magic find hometown companies can provide efficiency and familiarity in learning what fan bases want.When Reis joined Orlando City in September 2015, the club was looking to build a mobile app that could offer live streaming to fans and gather data.

Texas Tech in uncharted waters
EAST REGION TEXAS TECH 78, PURDUE 65 BOSTON -- Having advanced further than any Texas Tech team ever has, the Red Raiders are one win away from returning to Texas for the Final Four. Getting a big lift from its bench and its defense, Tech advanced to Sunday's East Region title game with a 78-65 victory over second-seeded Purdue. As he has throughout the tournament and for so much of the season, senior point guard Keenan Evans took over when it mattered. He had just six points on 1-of-6 shooting when he nailed a 15-footer to put Tech up 56-51 with seven minutes to play. From that point, he delivered 10 points down the stretch to cement the victory. With the victory, the Big 12 now has three teams playing this weekend with a chance to go to the Final Four, with Kansas and Kansas State joining Tech. Tech (27-9) advances to face East top seed Villanova (33-4), which eliminated West Virginia, 90-78, in the first game Friday at TD Garden. The Wildcats lead Division I in scoring at 87 points … [Read more...] about Texas Tech in uncharted waters
