A New Role for Jamie Hart
Jamie Hart has taken on a pivotal role in the gambling industry as the new head of gambling at Conquer Technology. Bringing a wealth of experience from his previous positions as an executive director at Tabcorp and director of innovation at William Hill, Hart's appointment signals an ambitious new direction for Conquer Technology.
Hart's journey to this new role began when he met David Carter, Conquer Technology's Chief Commercial Officer, during an innovation competition at William Hill. This meeting was serendipitous, leading Hart to his current position and setting the stage for new developments in the gambling sector.
Focus on Small-Scale Innovation
Conquer Technology prides itself on focusing on small-scale technical innovation. As a full-service development studio, the company helps firms navigate the intricate world of gambling regulation, Know Your Customer (KYC) protocols, and the creation of new betting products and bet types. Their mission is to provide operators with the freedom to experiment and innovate without the financial and operational burdens typically associated with such endeavors.
Challenges and Opportunities
The gambling industry is fraught with challenges, but Hart is well aware of these hurdles. Operators often find it difficult to experiment and test new ideas due to bureaucratic delays and escalated costs when handling everything in-house. Conquer Technology offers a compelling alternative: outsourcing. This approach can be quicker and more cost-effective, enabling companies to bypass the internal red tape that hampers innovation.
Additionally, managing projects in gambling companies has become increasingly complex, with more people involved today than 20 years ago. Conquer Technology aims to simplify this operational landscape, helping operators to innovate more efficiently and effectively.
A Vision for the Future
Jamie Hart's vision extends beyond addressing the challenges of the Tote's product, an area where innovation has been historically difficult. In his new role, Hart seeks to use his broader scope to make a significant impact on the gambling industry. Conquer Technology's goal is to empower firms to adapt to the changing regulatory landscapes and push the boundaries of innovation within the sector.
The launch of Conquer Technology’s gambling division marks a significant step forward for the company and the industry at large. By enabling operators to experiment and innovate freely, Conquer Technology is positioning itself as a crucial player in the future of gambling.
As Hart and his team embark on this new journey, all eyes will be on them to see how effectively they can execute their ambitious plans. The industry looks forward to seeing how Conquer Technology will simplify integration – the biggest issue betting companies face today – and provide a unique outsourcing model that delivers on its promises.
