Abstract
As the importance of the sports industry in national health and economic development is increasing, the management problems of stadiums have gradually highlighted. This paper examines the current deficiencies in the use of stadiums in China and its causes, and proposes an informatization solution based on SaaS (Software as a Service) system. It is revealed that the current public facilities, such as sports stadiums, have inefficient management, difficulty in satisfying users' needs, and insufficient application of technology, which are not compatible with the development trend of informatization society. Through the introduction of SaaS system, the integrated management of stadiums and the optimization of resource allocation can be achieved, which contributes to the enhancement of user experience and there by promotes the information transformation of the sports industry. In addition, this paper argues the feasibility and necessity of SaaS system in the informatization management of sports venues from four aspects, political, economic, social, and technological, through PEST analysis, and offers actual cases to prove its effectiveness. Informatization is an inevitable choice for the sports industry to comply with the development of the times, which can effectively improve the operational efficiency and user participation of stadiums and promote the high-quality development of the sports industry.
