Bayer 04 partners with DXC Technology for AI integration

Bayer 04 has secured a new premium partner in DXC Technology, a leading provider of enterprise technology and innovation. The club has agreed a partnership with DXC running until 30 June 2028. At the heart of the partnership is DXC’s role as an AI integration partner. The company is integrating Bayer 04’s previously separate digital systems into a unified fan journey that begins long before matchday and extends well beyond the stadium visit. As a partner of the women’s team and main sponsor of #B04eSports, DXC will be supporting two promising sections of the club during this period. DXC will also gain significant visibility as the sleeve partner of the women’s team in the DFB Pokal.
DXC Technology als AI Integration Partner

Andreas Hinder, head of IT at Bayer 04, said: “Our partnership with DXC presents us with a major strategic opportunity to harness the potential of digitalisation and artificial intelligence even more effectively in future for more efficient processes, modern services and new ways of engaging with fans and partners. Particularly valuable in this regard is the combination of DXC’s extensive implementation expertise and international project experience with our understanding of the specific processes, dynamics and requirements in professional football. Together, we can translate technological possibilities into tangible added value and drive forward the digital development of Bayer 04 in a sustainable manner.”

Jacqueline Fechner, managing director of CNEE at DXC Technology, added: “With the fan engagement platform, Bayer 04 is gradually transforming individual touchpoints into a personalised fan journey that is integrated into everyday life – from personalised content to digital services relating to the club. As an AI integration partner, we are drawing on our implementation experience from complex technology projects to create tangible added value for the club and for the fans.”
