EMC is excited to build on its long-standing partnership with London Wasps, a high-profile, internationally renowned rugby club with a long and celebrated history.. Our shared values of leadership, teamwork and passion for excellence make EMC and London Wasps truly “premiership partners” with tremendous potential for growth and achievement.

Our relationship with London Wasps provides an exceptional platform for EMC to further develop our brand and business relationships. Both in the UK and internationally, we see rugby continuing to grow, both in terms of support and media coverage, whilst also maintaining its traditionally strong following amongst our target audience of business managers and decision makers. With an outstanding track record of success, and very strong international representation, London Wasps are the clear partner of choice for a global market leader such as EMC.

The mission of EMC is to help businesses and individuals get greater value out of the information they create and manage. As we move into this next phase of our relationship with London Wasps, our ambition is to explore together the possibilities for improving the Club experience for fans, players, coaches, staff and business partners via a more effective and innovative use of information.

We also fully intend to play a highly active role in supporting the life of the club, involving our employees, our business partners and our customers in London Wasps games, events, business seminars and community initiatives.

EMC wish the London Wasps players, coaching and commercial staff and supporters a successful and prosperous 2009/10 season. We at EMC are looking forward to being an integral part of this winning Club.

London Wasps are delighted to confirm EMC as their Official Club Sponsor ahead of a season that marks powerful intent both on and off the pitch.

As a Club we are very pleased with the way we have developed our relationship with EMC - one which has now produced this longstanding partnership between the two companies.

The history of this relationship is important because it has enabled both Wasps and EMC to see the heartbeat of our prospective entities and find an alignment of values – values which are intrinsically shared and will underpin the success of this partnership.

Together we share cornerstone principles with Wasps and EMC standing as leaders in our field fuelled by ambition, striving for continued and enhanced success and as a Club we truly believe this partnership is a ‘win win’ for both parties.

EMC’s expertise provides us with a fantastic opportunity to look closely at how we use information and how we can really unlock, even more significantly, the value of our business and the information that we hold. In turn we hope that this will impact our supporters and increase their interaction and enjoyment with the Club.

For EMC we hope to play our part in raising your profile in your core markets. This is of course combined with a true invitation to join the Wasps family and we look forward greatly to welcoming everyone from EMC at fixtures throughout the season, a season which is set to be one of great excitement for all involved.
