A New Role for Jamie Hart
Jamie Hart, a familiar name in the gambling industry, has recently taken on the role of head of gambling at Conquer Technology. Hart's impressive resume includes his tenure as an executive director at Tabcorp and a director of innovation at William Hill. His journey to Conquer Technology began after meeting the company's Chief Commercial Officer, David Carter, during an innovation competition at William Hill.
Focus on Small-Scale Innovation
Conquer Technology is known for its dedication to small-scale technical innovation. As a full-service development studio, the company assists firms in navigating the complex gambling regulations and KYC (Know Your Customer) protocols. This focus also extends to developing new betting products and bet types. Conquer Technology aims to empower operators to experiment and innovate without the usual financial and operational burdens associated with such endeavors.
Challenges and Opportunities
Hart is well aware of the numerous challenges currently facing the gambling industry. Operators often find it challenging to experiment and test new ideas due to the inherent risks and costs. Handling such innovations in-house can lead to bureaucratic delays and escalated costs. By outsourcing these efforts to Conquer Technology, operators could find a quicker and more cost-effective solution.
Moreover, managing projects within gambling companies has become increasingly complex over the years. A significant factor contributing to this complexity is the increased number of people involved in projects today compared to 20 years ago. Conquer Technology aims to simplify this operational landscape for operators, offering a streamlined approach to innovation.
A Vision for the Future
Hart’s vision extends beyond merely addressing the challenges associated with the Tote's product innovations. In his new role, he has a broader scope to implement transformative changes within the gambling industry. Conquer Technology is set on helping firms adapt to the ever-evolving regulatory landscapes. The launch of the gambling division marks a significant milestone not only for the company but also for the industry as a whole.
This new division aims to empower operators to push the boundaries of innovation in gambling. As Hart and his team execute their plans, they will undoubtedly attract the industry’s attention, keeping all eyes fixed on their progress.
