A New Role for Jamie Hart
Jamie Hart, a seasoned veteran in the gambling industry, has been appointed as the head of gambling at Conquer Technology. With a rich background that includes serving as an executive director at Tabcorp and a director of innovation at William Hill, Hart brings a wealth of experience and insight to his new role.
Hart's journey to Conquer Technology began during an innovation competition at William Hill, where he crossed paths with Conquer Technology's Chief Commercial Officer, David Carter. Their meeting marked the beginning of a professional relationship that has now culminated in Hart's new leadership position.
Focus on Small-Scale Innovation
Conquer Technology prides itself on its commitment to small-scale technical innovation. As a full-service development studio, the company is dedicated to helping firms navigate the complexities of gambling regulation, and Know Your Customer (KYC) protocols, as well as developing new betting products and bet types. The ultimate goal is to provide operators with the freedom to experiment and innovate without the usual financial and operational burdens that come with in-house development.
Challenges and Opportunities
In his new role, Hart is acutely aware of the myriad challenges facing the gambling industry. Operators often struggle to experiment and test new ideas due to bureaucratic delays and escalated costs associated with handling everything internally. According to Hart, outsourcing efforts to Conquer Technology can offer a swifter and more cost-effective solution.
"Integration is typically the biggest issue for betting companies, and that will be our number one target," Hart stated. The increasing complexity of managing projects within gambling companies, largely due to the growing number of people involved, is another challenge that Conquer Technology aims to address. Hart hopes to simplify the operational landscape for operators, enabling them to focus on innovation and growth.
A Vision for the Future
Jamie Hart’s vision extends beyond merely tackling the challenges associated with the Tote's product. He believes that innovation in the Tote's product has been particularly challenging, which makes his new role at Conquer Technology even more significant. With a broader scope to implement his vision, Hart sees an opportunity to make a substantial impact on the gambling industry.
As the gambling industry continually adapts to changing regulatory landscapes, Conquer Technology's newly-launched gambling division represents a significant step forward. The company aims to empower operators to push the boundaries of innovation, and all eyes will be on Hart and his team as they set out to execute their ambitious plans.
"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," Hart remarked. His comments highlight the evolving nature of the industry and the need for streamlined processes to facilitate innovation.
