As sports are now much more data driven, is there any other analytics are doing similar? In this case of Arsenal, they purchased it for "scouting" purpose. I would also love to see if some sport clubs can leverage the data and make sport management as a predictable science.

Opta certainly hope so. They have, and licence access to, a colossal amount of sports data and I imagine clubs that don't have the resources to generate/collect their own will probably use a service like theirs.

One of the ways Videobserver [1] addresses this is by providing tools to speed up video analysis and to gather data for statistical analysis.
