Fujitsu today announces its new uSCALE Customer Success Portal, offering customers in the global online gambling industry an unparalleled experience in seamlessly handling, analyzing and optimizing infrastructures.

The new portal allows online gambling operators and supplier to have visibility on system consumption data, order tracking, capacity management and forecast insights to fully utilize consumption-based, as-a-service resources. This fosters transparent cost structures, delivers effective expense monitoring and safeguards against unexpected cost escalations.

For enterprise users moving to cloud-based and managed infrastructure, retaining control over systems is a key priority. Although the apparent keen pricing of public cloud services attracts users, concerns remain around privacy, security and governance, especially among businesses operating in the online gambling space.

Enterprises also know that cloud-based services can lead to unpredictable expenses without strict management. Consequently, many enterprises are exploring alternatives where these risks can be more readily managed – especially on-premises, as-a-service consumption-based solutions.

Fujitsu’s uSCALE Customer Success Portal provides direct access to all relevant information about an organization’s uSCALE Service – cost, capacity and consumption across their data centers. This means better control and prediction of expenses and performance, with flexible scaling options to adapt to varying demands.

The centralized portal provides the data organizations need to make faster and smarter IT decisions, visibility over uSCALE-related expenses with on-demand access to billing and invoicing details and direct link to the dedicated Customer Success Manager.

The customer experience is enhanced substantially as all key information is just a click away, unnecessary costs minimized, and efficiency increased. Enterprises also gain a clear picture of organizational IT infrastructures and workloads. This assists in agile decision-making, with organizations empowered to adapt swiftly to market shifts, technological advances, and potential operational risks.

Nick McDonald, Senior Account Director at Fujitsu said: “With this new portal customers get clear visibility of what infrastructure they have, what they are using and what it’s costing, Basically Cloud like consumption on their own private infrastructure added to this customers don’t need any large capital outlays for infrastructure refreshes as well as helping to add to their sustainability goals by only buying and using the Infrastructure they need from the outset.”

How to survive a crisis? Slotegrator’s tips on business continuity and disaster recovery

In pursuit of online casino success, operators do their best to provide players with the most interesting products and services, promote their business, analyze the revenue, grow traffic, and implement many other business development methods. Operators create marketing and plans to follow. However there is another important plan we often ignore — business continuity plan.

The iGaming business is vulnerable: it’s usually a large-scale venture, the risks are huge, and the number of potential threats is high. Starting from legal risks if the regulation changes or the market closes, to the cyber attack risks due to lack of security measures. Almost anything can go wrong and ruin a business that was built for years and took a lot of investment.

Slotegrator released a downloadable material describing what can potentially go wrong and how to make your business ready for it. Having a plan is crucial in this matter because improvising when an emergency occurs is a bad idea. What will you do if your regulator bans all forms of gambling advertising? Who will be responsible if the platform fails and the online casino stops functioning properly? How will you analyze the huge amount of data from your platform to detect a mistake? There must be a specific and very detailed plan of actions. Every minute of not accepting payments or not registering new players is an enormous loss for a casino operator, that’s why it’s so important to have your business continuously working without interruptions.

Some problems that may look less serious can cause big difficulties for businesses as well. For instance, Slotegrator talked to William Sarto, PR & Marketing Specialist at CasinoRIX, and got a few tips to help safeguard business during Google’s regular updates. Sarto points out several key advice: “Don’t rely on just one GEO; make sure you’re running projects across multiple countries. Don’t stick to just one vertical. For example, run projects in both the casino and betting sectors. This way, if one gets hit, you’ll have others to offset the impact.

 Use a variety of strategies to promote your projects. If one takes a hit, others can grow or stay steady, giving you time to bounce back. Don’t rely solely on SEO for traffic—explore other channels to diversify your sources.”

Having said that, business continuity solution includes two main strategies. The first is to try to prevent the crisis and make your business less vulnerable to external events, and the second is a plan of actions to deal with a crisis and return to normal operation after it passes.

“We all know that being aware of potential risks is already a first step in preventing them. Problems that business face are various, especially in the iGaming industry, but knowing what can happen, learning from experiences gained before, and having a recovery plan can save many starting companies,” says Svetlana Kirichenko, Head of Marketing at Slotegrator.
