Sport.Video technology was described by Dejan as a quick and fairly easy to use tool to launch important matches and events via the website to the targeted and interested audience. He continued saying that is an affordable product for the range of useful functions provided by the technology and a good quality image for the amateur and semi-pro user.
"We believe that we can gain a lot by using Sport.Video technology." he proceed; "In addition to increasing visibility, planning the branding of the Maribor FA, and increasing the availability of information of events (matches), the technology will allow the association and our members to launch their own products through modern digital networks to a wider audience. At the same time, we believe that Sport.Video will open additional opportunities for obtaining new sponsorships or sponsors for the operation of the Association and Clubs."

Dejan finished highlighting how important will be the technology integration for the growth of the federation and sports community in the region. "Sport.Video technology will help us to further connect to the clubs, supporters and partners of the association, as it will also be extremely important for creating a recognizable brand. Given the size of our area, we believe that will be able to develop a very successful regional sports marketing system in the long run. We want to share our knowledge and connections with other sports, and together with the Sport.Video project we are engaging with the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computer and the Faculty of Economics and Business in Maribor."
