ORIS - Olympic Results & Information Services
The ORIS system provides templates for information (e.g. results) being printed or displayed to ensure sport requirements are met and to provide consistency across events.
OVR - On Venue Results
An OVR collects and processes all the information available within a venue.
In single venue competitions it will also provide the final services needed.
Multi-sport competitions can use many venues, some even in different countries, so the OVR will use secure communications to synchronise its data with a central results system.
