The Client

CryptoLogic helped create today’s multi-billion-dollar global Internet gaming market a decade ago. Today, as a proven leader on pace to top US$100 million in annual revenue, CryptoLogic’s software is licensed through its WagerLogic® subsidiary by an exclusive group of the world’s most trusted gaming and entertainment brands, including InterCasino, Playboy, William Hill, and Littlewoods Gaming.

CryptoLogic’s position as one of the most successful and respected companies in the global e-gaming market has been driven largely by its commitment to product innovation. “Our continued commitment to e-gaming product development has enabled us to provide the best entertainment experience available on the Internet,” states Lewis Rose, CryptoLogic's President and CEO. “We lead the market with innovative new casino and poker products that help our customers profit from the games their players want to play.”

Accelerating time-to-market for leading provider of Internet gaming software

Project Description:

With the e-gaming market expected to grow by 100% from US$12 billion to US$24 billion by 2010, it is a high stakes and intensely competitive battlefield for e-gaming software providers.

To stay one step ahead of its competition, CryptoLogic management proactively sought ways to accelerate the pace at which they could build new products with breakthrough innovations in playablity, flexibility and performance. They wanted greater access to specialized technical skills, world-leading software product building methodologies and flexible development capacity.

”We are looking for companies that can match our pace and award-winning game innovations to create an even greater competitive advantage in this ever expanding industry. bitHeads can provide us with that edge,” said Mike Starzynski, CTO CryptoLogic Inc.

The bitHeads Solution:

CryptoLogic significantly expanded its partnership with bitHeads in 2006 to deploy a large team of architects, project managers, developers and software testers.

Through the bitHeads ProductStream approach, the partnership taps bitHeads experience building award-winning software products with rapidly-deployed cohesive teams of highly skilled people using a proven methodology.

It also leverages bitHeads’ deep domain expertise in large scale and secure multi-user platforms with high transaction volumes.

Results:

“Our software has processed over US$50 billion in wagers and entertains over 2 million players worldwide,” continues Rose.

“With the help of bitHeads and their ProductStream approach, we are dramatically accelerating time to market of new e-gaming platforms that meet those large scale performance requirements. bitHeads has proven their ability to reliably deliver great e-gaming software products and we are pleased to have them on our team as we aggressively grow our leadership position in the global e-gaming market.”
