A New Role for Jamie Hart
Jamie Hart has embarked on a new journey as the head of gambling at Conquer Technology. His remarkable career trajectory includes serving as an executive director at Tabcorp and a director of innovation at William Hill. His partnership with Conquer Technology began after meeting the company's CCO, David Carter, during an innovation competition at William Hill.
Focus on Small-Scale Innovation
Conquer Technology is known for its focus on small-scale technical innovation. As a full-service development studio, it specializes in helping firms navigate the complexities of gambling regulation and Know Your Customer (KYC) protocols, while also developing new betting products and bet types. By providing operators with the freedom to experiment and innovate without the financial and operational burdens typically associated with in-house projects, Conquer Technology is carving out a niche in the industry.
Challenges and Opportunities
Hart is well aware of the myriad challenges that the gambling industry faces today. Operators find it increasingly difficult to experiment and test new ideas due to the bureaucratic delays and escalated costs that come with handling everything in-house. This is where Conquer Technology steps in, offering a quicker and cheaper outsourcing alternative. Hart commented, "It might be quicker and cheaper to do those with us than in-house."
The complexity of managing projects within gambling companies has also intensified. "There certainly seem to be a lot more people involved in projects now than there were 20 years ago. I'm hoping we can provide a unique outsourcing model," Hart noted. Conquer Technology aims to simplify the operational landscape for operators, enabling them to focus more on innovation and less on logistical hurdles.
A Vision for the Future
Hart's vision for the future extends beyond addressing the challenges associated with the Tote's product, which has historically been difficult to innovate. His new role at Conquer Technology offers a broader scope to implement his ambitious vision for the gambling industry. The company aims to help firms adapt to changing regulatory landscapes and push the boundaries of innovation.
The launch of the gambling division at Conquer Technology is not only a significant step for the company but also a noteworthy development for the industry as a whole. As Hart and his team execute their strategies, the industry will be watching closely to see the impact of their efforts. "Integration is typically the biggest issue for betting companies, and that will be our number one target," Hart emphasized.
Conquer Technology is committed to empowering operators, providing them with the tools they need to experiment and innovate freely. With the industry landscape constantly evolving, the firm's services could prove invaluable to operators looking to stay ahead of the curve.
