The [Orlando Magic](https://www.nba.com/magic/) business team realized the benefits of data warehousing early on in the game.

[![Jay Riola](https://blog.koresoftware.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Jay%20Riola.png?width=220&name=Jay%20Riola.png)](https://www.linkedin.com/in/jay-riola-79b52229/)

Coincidentally, the new [Amway Center](https://www.amwaycenter.com/) was just opening its doors when the Magic made the plunge into advanced analytics.

It was a match made in sports business heaven.

In this episode of Inside Sports Business Intelligence, we catch up with the Orlando Magic’s Senior VP of Strategy & Innovation, [Jay Riola](https://www.linkedin.com/in/jay-riola-79b52229/).

He discusses three vital steps to adopting new technology like data warehousing:

1. Capture it.
2. Organize it.
3. Integrate it.

Of course, there’s a little more to it. In addition to early technology adoption, we talk about:

- Operating the Magic’s database in a snowflake structure.
- How the Magic is offering a richer experience for all fans.
- Why providing season ticket holders with more options increases retention rates.
