A New Role for Jamie Hart
Jamie Hart has recently taken on the mantle of head of gambling at Conquer Technology. A seasoned veteran in the betting industry, Hart has previously served as an executive director at Tabcorp and as a director of innovation at William Hill. His journey to this pivotal role began when he initially crossed paths with Conquer Technology's CCO, David Carter, during an innovative competition at William Hill.
Focus on Small-Scale Innovation
Conquer Technology has carved out a niche by focusing on small-scale technical innovation. The company operates as a full-service development studio, aiding firms in navigating the complex landscape of gambling regulation, KYC protocols, and the development of novel betting products and bet types. Conquer Technology aims to provide operators the freedom to experiment and innovate without being bogged down by financial and operational burdens.
Challenges and Opportunities
Jamie Hart is acutely aware of the myriad challenges facing the betting industry today. One major hurdle is the difficulty operators face in experimenting and testing new ideas. Handling these efforts in-house often leads to bureaucratic delays and escalated costs. This is where Conquer Technology steps in, offering a quicker and more cost-effective outsourcing solution.
Managing projects within gambling companies has become increasingly complex, with more stakeholders involved today than two decades ago. By simplifying the operational landscape, Conquer Technology aims to diminish these logistical nightmares and accelerate the implementation of innovative ideas.
A Vision for the Future
Hart’s ambitions extend beyond tackling the challenge of innovating the Tote's product. His new role offers him a broader canvas to implement his visionary ideas for the gambling industry. With changing regulatory landscapes, Conquer Technology endeavors to be the guiding light, helping firms adapt seamlessly. The recent launch of Conquer's gambling division marks a significant milestone for both the company and the industry. This move is expected to empower operators, allowing them to push the boundaries of innovation in gambling.
As Hart and his team roll out their strategy, all eyes are poised to observe how they execute their plans and overcome industry challenges. In Hart’s own words, "Integration is typically the biggest issue for betting companies, and that will be our number one target."
