Focus on Small-Scale Innovation
Conquer Technology is carving a niche for itself with a dedicated focus on small-scale technical innovation. As a full-service development studio, the company assists firms in navigating the intricate world of gambling regulation and Know Your Customer (KYC) protocols. Additionally, Conquer Technology develops new betting products and bet types, providing operators with the freedom to experiment and innovate without enduring substantial financial and operational burdens.
Challenges and Opportunities
Jamie Hart is acutely aware of the challenges facing the gambling industry. Operators often find it challenging to experiment and test new ideas due to the complexities of handling everything in-house, which leads to bureaucratic delays and increased costs. In this context, outsourcing efforts to Conquer Technology emerges as a quicker and cheaper alternative.
The intricacies of managing projects within gambling companies have amplified over the years, with more people involved in projects today than two decades ago. Conquer Technology aims to simplify the operational landscape for operators, making it easier for them to push the boundaries of innovation.
