Jamie Hart Takes on New Role at Conquer Technology
In a significant industry move, Jamie Hart has taken on the role of head of gambling at Conquer Technology. Hart, who brings a wealth of experience from his previous positions as an executive director at Tabcorp and director of innovation at William Hill, commenced his new tenure following an impactful meeting with Conquer Technology’s Chief Commercial Officer, David Carter, during an innovation competition at William Hill.
Focus on Small-Scale Innovation
Conquer Technology specializes in small-scale technical innovation, positioning itself as a full-service development studio aimed at aiding firms in navigating the labyrinth of gambling regulations, Know Your Customer (KYC) protocols, and in developing new betting products and types. The company’s mission is to offer operators the freedom to experiment and innovate without shouldering the financial and operational burdens typically associated with in-house management.
According to Hart, gambling operators often struggle with experimentation due to the cumbersome bureaucratic processes and escalated costs associated with handling everything internally. By outsourcing to Conquer Technology, companies can expect a quicker and more cost-effective route to innovation. "Integration is typically the biggest issue for betting companies, and that will be our number one target," Hart emphasized.
Challenges and Opportunities
Hart is fully aware of the challenges plaguing the gambling industry. He acknowledges that the increasing complexity of managing projects within gambling companies, coupled with a significantly higher number of stakeholders involved compared to 20 years ago, makes innovation a daunting task. “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 noted.
He believes that Conquer Technology’s approach can simplify the operational landscape for operators, enabling them to push the boundaries of innovation in gambling while adapting to the constantly shifting regulatory environments.
A Vision for the Future
Jamie Hart’s new role offers him a broader platform to implement his far-reaching vision for the gambling industry, extending beyond the challenges associated with the Tote’s product innovation. “There’s a lot more I want to do and change [in gambling], and the Tote’s product was difficult to innovate,” Hart remarked.
At Conquer Technology, Hart aims to address these broader challenges, laying the groundwork for a more innovative and adaptable gambling industry. The launch of the gambling division marks a pivotal moment both for the company and the industry as a whole. It’s an initiative designed to help firms brave the evolving regulatory landscapes while empowering operators to explore new frontiers.
Hart's commitment to addressing the core issues in the industry is clear. By focusing on reducing bureaucratic delays and costs, Conquer Technology stands to become a beacon of innovation that gambling companies can lean on for streamlined, effective solutions.
