Helio Gaming, providers of innovative, fully scalable lottery engine systems, are among the first iGaming developing companies to tie the knot with IT giant Microsoft regarding the use of their state-of-the-art cloud platform Azure.
Lottery vertical brand, headquartered in Malta, becomes one of Microsoft’s maiden partners coming from this industry…
…they, as well as their operator partners, will be making most of this super-contemporary hosted system.
Microsoft Azure is a computing service, cloud-based hosting platform with a network of managed data centers that s a big variety of applications that allow high-level infrastructure, scalability, transparency and, above all, top-notch security.
Richard Mifsud, Helio Gaming’s CEO, was very happy with the accomplishment of this deal as it will “allow us to reduce time to market, increase reliability to the highest percentile and distribute their services globally with ease.”
Stressing the fact that the company is one of the first iGaming brands to utilize Azure, he said he looks forward to seeing the benefits it brings to their customers and added:
“We are delighted to be hosting our content through Azure. Unifying our business channels with this software allows for a seamless transition for all our teams and smoother integration across Microsoft’s secure environment.”
Being active globally, Helio Gaming’s needs for cutting-edge hosting service is justified by the rising demand for their solutions everywhere. Their multiple API functionalities such as campaign, and customer relationship management and other tools fulfill any operator’s lottery needs.
Starring in their portfolio are custom-made lottery games such as Lotto Hero and multiple titles that can be tailored to meet the operators’ needs as well as games based on the outcome of international lotteries.
Helio’s platform also makes way to strengthening operators’ player base and driving cross-sell between other game verticals. In a fiercely competitive sector, these solutions are what gives this company the edge.
Seamless integration onto any platform will be further facilitated by the use of Azure – the Microsoft product that is described as productive, owing to its 100+ services with end-to-end tools and intelligent, because it creates intelligent apps that use powerful data and AI services.
It is a hybrid system that develops and deploys upon client’s desire and is the only consistent hybrid cloud on the market. Its trustworthiness is reflected in the array of businesses and clients that already use Azure, among which are startups and governments.
