The San Francisco 49ers is an American Football team based in San Francisco, which won five Super Bowls between 1981 and 1994. 

 

The team embarked on a digital transformation about ten years ago, building a new stadium, hiring more employees, and bringing in a host of technology innovations for an amazing fan experience.
