A New Role for Jamie Hart
Jamie Hart, a prominent figure in the gambling industry, has taken on the role of head of gambling at Conquer Technology. Hart brings to the table his extensive experience as a former executive director at Tabcorp and director of innovation at William Hill. His journey to this new role began at an innovation competition at William Hill, where he crossed paths with David Carter, Chief Commercial Officer of Conquer Technology.
Focus on Small-Scale Innovation
Conquer Technology prides itself on its focus on small-scale technical innovation. As a full-service development studio, it assists firms in navigating the complex landscape of gambling regulation, Know Your Customer (KYC) protocols, and the development of new betting products and types. The primary aim of the company is to provide operators with the freedom to experiment and innovate without incurring significant financial and operational burdens.
Challenges and Opportunities
Hart is keenly aware of the myriad challenges facing the gambling industry. One of the primary difficulties operators face is the ability to experiment and test new ideas. The traditional in-house handling of projects often leads to bureaucratic delays and heightened costs. By outsourcing efforts to Conquer Technology, operators can undertake projects more quickly and at a lower cost.
Project management within gambling companies has become increasingly complex over the years. With more people involved in projects compared to two decades ago, the operational landscape has become more convoluted. Conquer Technology aims to streamline this process, making it simpler for operators to manage their projects efficiently.
A Vision for the Future
In his new role, Hart seeks to tackle broader industry challenges, extending beyond the confines of the Tote’s product innovation. The innovation process within the Tote's product has historically been riddled with difficulties. However, Hart sees his new position as a significant opportunity to implement his vision for the gambling industry on a larger scale.
Conquer Technology's new gambling division launch marks a substantial milestone for both the company and the industry. The company is committed to helping firms adapt to the ever-changing regulatory landscapes while empowering operators to push the boundaries of innovation within gambling. All eyes will undoubtedly be on Hart and his team as they embark on this ambitious journey.
