IBM provides the technology infrastructure for the championships. The data from the keypads is sent back to the IBM control centre at Wimbledon, where racks of ThinkPads - two for each show court - take that data and turn it into useful statistics which can be used by commentators and other systems. After matches, players on Centre and Number 1 courts are also provided with a detailed analysis of their performance using this data.
