A New Role for Jamie Hart
Jamie Hart, a seasoned veteran in the gambling industry, has taken on the new role of head of gambling at Conquer Technology. Hart brings a wealth of experience from his previous positions as an executive director at Tabcorp and a director of innovation at William Hill. His journey with Conquer Technology began after a fateful meeting with David Carter, Conquer Technology's CCO, during an innovation competition at William Hill.
Focus on Small-Scale Innovation
Conquer Technology is dedicated to fostering small-scale technical innovation. As a full-service development studio, it assists firms in navigating the complex world of gambling regulation, Know Your Customer (KYC) protocols, and the development of new betting products and bet types. The company aims to provide operators with the freedom to experiment and innovate without bearing the financial and operational burdens typically associated with in-house development.
Challenges and Opportunities
Hart is well aware of the numerous challenges facing the gambling industry. One significant issue is that operators often find it difficult to experiment and test new ideas because of bureaucratic delays and escalated costs stemming from handling everything internally. Outsourcing efforts to Conquer Technology can offer a quicker and more cost-effective solution.
The complexity of managing projects within gambling companies has increased over the years, with more individuals involved in projects today than there were 20 years ago. This added complexity can hinder innovation and efficiency. Conquer Technology seeks to simplify the operational landscape for operators, making it easier for them to bring new ideas to fruition.
A Vision for the Future
Hart's vision extends beyond addressing the challenges associated with the Tote’s product, where innovation has proven difficult. His new role at Conquer Technology provides a broader scope to implement his vision for the gambling industry. The company's goal is to help firms adapt to changing regulatory landscapes, further empowering operators to push the boundaries of innovation within the sector.
The launch of the gambling division is a significant step for both Conquer Technology and the industry at large. All eyes will be on Hart and his team as they work to execute their ambitious plans.
