Sportech’s Quantum™ System Delivers for Betfred at Royal Ascot
Atlanta, GA – Sportech Racing // Digital, a division of Sportech PLC, (LSE: SPO) is pleased to announce that the company have now completed the successful integration of Quantum™ System into Betfred's Totepool business.
The introduction of Sportech’s Quantum™ System is the first phase of a multi-part project and was showcased at Royal Ascot last week. Further implementation of Sportech's betting products will now follow, including a G4 framework for online betting, Digital Link™ mobile and self-service betting terminals.
The integration of Sportech’s Quantum™ System has allowed Betfred to simplify their betting systems, while also making Totepool products available for distribution to worldwide tote markets. The new digital and self-service technologies to be deployed in subsequent phases will significantly enhance the customer experience at a racecourse, online or on mobile devices.
Philip Siers, Chief Commercial Officer of Betfred said, “We commenced this significant Quantum™ System conversion project under a year ago. At every step along this critical path, Sportech’s technical and operations teams have demonstrated their expertise, professionalism and competence, culminating with a successful Royal Ascot. We are now excited to embark on the next phase of our strategic technical initiative with Sportech, the implementation of new digital and self-service technologies that will offer Totepool customers a significantly enhanced betting experience”.
Andrew Gaughan, President of Sportech Racing // Digital said, “We are extremely satisfied with how Quantum™ System performed during Royal Ascot, the most popular racing event in Britain with roughly 300,000 visitors over the five-day meeting, but this is just the tip of the iceberg for Betfred and Sportech. Now, we turn to further rationalizing their complex commingling infrastructure, deploying additional Flair™ betting terminals, and rolling out new betting technologies that their consumers are sure to embrace.”
