AFP, the global press agency, and infoplum, an Australian company providing multimedia solutions for sports,
collaborated to produce the app presenting live results, news, pictures and other information on the games.

“The app featured content filed by the 180 sportswriters, photographers and others that we sent to London to

cover the Olympics. We offered comprehensive coverage of the games and combined this with infloplum’s
technical expertise to build the app,” AFP Regional Director for the Asia-Pacific, Gilles Campion, said, adding:
“we are proud of the recognition this award brings.”

The Managing Director of infoplum, Arun Khanna, said his company used cutting edge technologies to integrate

live scores and results, historical stats and trivia from their Sportsflash database with live news, star bios, venue
details, Olympics history and images from AFP.
“The result was an engaging and informative application that was immensely popular world-wide and among the
top selling Olympic apps in a number of countries,” Khanna said.

The app was fully connected with social media networks and brought valuable feedback from users, he added.


AFP’s Deputy Sales and Marketing Director for the Asia-Pacific, Nicolas Giraudon, said that AFP’s multimedia

live reports were incorporated with infoplum’s special features including medal predictors.
“The result was an altogether holistic experience.  We are now licensing multi-sports applications based on this
winning combination to clients across Asia-Pacific and Africa,” he said.
AFP and infoplum offer a range of applications to publishers and brands for all platforms covering more than

150 sports competitions worldwide.
