Result is working together with Datadistic Holdings to expand it worldwide. Datadistic is a company founded in Argentina in 2003, expanding into several other markets with its network platform which provides accurate information for decision makers in the business of football: coaches, clubs, agents, investors, speakers, media companies and professionals in general.

The company provides statistics on games, personal and professional data of the players and referees in order to support the whole industry, including media companies, to enhance their business related to football. It also displays video images of some of the plays of the public games, to assure its information is the reality of the facts.

From 2006 to 2007 most of the largest exporting Brazilian companies faced high growth selling to international markets. The 6 biggest exporters were:

Company        2007 Export Sales      Growth from 2006     Sector

Petrobras         US$ 13.6 bi                +23%                    energy/oil

Vale                US$ 7.9 bi                  +32%                    mining

Embraer          US$ 4.7 bi                  +45%                    aircraft

BUNGE             US$ 3 bi                     +35%                    food

VW                 US$ 2.1 bi                  – 7%                   automobiles

Sadia               US$ 2 bi                    +19%                    food

As we can see, most of them faced double digits growth mostly driven by their sales to emerging markets (Asia and East Europe). During 2008 growth rate shall continue, but not as high due to smaller activity in the USA (with impact to emerging markets).

Our team is committed to find great opportunities to help the South American markets to evolve, and also to help Brazilian and Argentinean companies to better understand what is likely to be ahead of us.
