A New Role for Jamie Hart
Jamie Hart, a veteran in the gambling industry, has taken on a new role as the head of gambling at Conquer Technology. Prior to this position, Hart served as an executive director at Tabcorp and as a director of innovation at William Hill. His journey to Conquer Technology began after meeting David Carter, the Chief Commercial Officer (CCO) of the company, during an innovation competition at William Hill.
Focus on Small-Scale Innovation
Conquer Technology has carved a niche for itself by focusing on small-scale technical innovation. As a full-service development studio, the company aids firms in navigating gambling regulations, complying with Know Your Customer (KYC) protocols, and developing new betting products and bet types. Conquer Technology aims to provide operators with the freedom to experiment and innovate without the financial and operational burdens typically associated with in-house efforts.
Challenges and Opportunities
Jamie Hart is acutely aware of the challenges facing the gambling industry. Operators often find it difficult to experiment and test new concepts due to the bureaucracy and elevated costs associated with handling everything in-house. The complexities of managing projects have increased, with more people involved in these endeavors than there were two decades ago. Outsourcing efforts to Conquer Technology, however, promises to be quicker and more cost-effective. By simplifying the operational landscape, Conquer Technology aims to alleviate some of these challenges for operators.
A Vision for the Future
At Conquer Technology, Jamie Hart envisions addressing more than just the product challenges associated with the Tote. Innovation within the Tote's product has historically been difficult, but Hart’s new role provides an opportunity for broader impact within the gambling industry. The launch of Conquer Technology's gambling division is a significant step that underscores the company’s commitment to helping firms adapt to the ever-changing regulatory landscapes. With this new initiative, Conquer Technology aims to empower operators to push the boundaries of innovation within the gambling sector.
“Integration is typically the biggest issue for betting companies, and that will be our number one target,” Hart emphasized. He believes that outsourcing to Conquer Technology might be quicker and cheaper than managing these efforts in-house. Indeed, Hart has noted that “there certainly seem to be a lot more people involved in projects now than there were 20 years ago. I’m hoping we can provide a unique outsourcing model.”
