Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP)

The Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) is the governing body of the men's professional tennis circuits - the ATP World Tour, the ATP Challenger Tour and the ATP Champions Tour. The ATP World Tour takes place across six continents, 32 countries and 62 tournaments.

With personnel scattered globally, the ATP created four integrated communities, including an officiating center and tournament center, in order to connect the various stakeholders across the globe. This moved the organization away from email as the primary collaboration vehicle and provided tour members and officials with the ability to manage tournament assignments, including tour calendars, tournament entries and logistics information related to the events, and to facilitate collaboration on rule changes and standards for umpiring.

Information about meetings and events is now readily available, conference and workshop agendas are posted and meeting reports are stored for members who are unable to attend. ACUNS also uses their community to internally promote the works of individual members and institutions and raise their profiles globally. The community features a members section, a submission for publication area and online discussions-all designed to enhance member interaction within the community.
