AS Roma Football Club Scores Big with Egnyte
Reading Time: 3 minutes
Modernising Infrastructure and Creating Secure Collaboration for Their Global Organisation
MOUNTAIN VIEW, California, July 25, 2018 — Egnyte, the leading provider of secure content collaboration and compliant data protection, today announced the deployment of their award-winning platform to the AS Roma football club. AS Roma is using the Egnyte platform to modernise their infrastructure as they move to the cloud, creating secure collaboration across their entire organization.
Headquartered in Trigoria, Roma, with employees throughout Europe, North America, and Asia (and over 87 million fans worldwide), AS Roma is the definition of a global organization. As a SaaS-based platform that was built for businesses from the ground up, Egnyte understands the challenges associated with collaborating in distributed workforces and was able to show an immediate impact on the AS Roma organisation.
“Egnyte came in and transformed the way we approached collaboration across every department, from sales and marketing to operations and IT, making us more mobile and more efficient than we’ve ever been before,” said Fabrizio Preti, Chief Technology Officer at AS Roma. “Egnyte has also significantly improved our security, giving us the visibility and control to make sure the right people have access to the right content at all times. When it comes to a complete solution, there is no other platform out there that provides both the performance and the protection that Egnyte does.”
AS Roma chose Egnyte over other competing vendors for their ability to deliver:
Hybrid performance – AS Roma can maintain fast, local access with on-premises infrastructure, which is also used for file backup. Simultaneously, they utilise the cloud to provide remote access for traveling employees such as sales and marketing members who need to be highly collaborative on the go.
Enterprise-grade security – Egnyte provides complete end-to-end encryption – in transit and at rest in respective storage environments. In addition, Egnyte’s password-protected link feature allows the AS Roma team to share their most sensitive content anywhere in the world, ensuring only those with the proper credentials can access the content.
Permission-based sharing – AS Roma wanted to make permissions as granular as possible, all the way down to the sub folder level. Egnyte allows IT to centrally manage permissions from the top level all the way down to the individual file level, providing the best permissions model on the market. Egnyte’s real-time auditing gives their IT department complete visibility of all user and file activity.
User Experience – One of the most important asks, AS Roma needed a solution that their employees would be willing to adopt. The intuitive interface of Egnyte is easy-to-use and provides a seamless desktop and mobile experience across Windows, Mac, Android and iOS devices. Maximising adoption was important for ROI, but also important for combating Shadow IT.
“We take a lot of pride in creating meaningful relationships with the organisations we work with, really partnering with them to make sure we have a complete understanding of their pain points and their needs so that we can create solutions that have a valuable impact on their business,” said Rajesh Ram. “That was truly on display here with AS Roma, a professional soccer club with a rich history and a lot on the line in terms of their brand and their content. Our team was able to come in and really transform the way they thought about collaboration and security, being more flexible without having to relinquish the control and protection they needed. This is the kind of partnership we love at Egnyte, where everyone comes away a winner.”
With today’s announcement, AS Roma joins a number of other industry-leading international brands working with Egnyte, including: Red Bull, NASDAQ, Yamaha, and many more. Recently AS Roma agreed a three-year deal with Betway.

What makes Turbo Games’ provably fair games so special?
A partnership between game developer Turbo Games and iGaming solution provider and aggregator Slotegrator began in November 2022 via the APIgrator game integration solution. Since then, the collaboration has been developing successfully — and now it’s time to analyze what made it successful.
Turbo Games has noticed how the new technologies spreading throughout the industry can work for the good of brand transparency and player loyalty: “We can already see how blockchain technology has made it possible to make betting checks more accessible to players. All you need is a blockchain-hash and a decoder service. We think we will continue to move in this direction. Many traditional online casinos do not offer the possibility to check the bet. Sooner or later we all have to come to this. Perhaps the development of artificial intelligence will help here, because we are already seeing its involvement in all spheres of human life.”
Turbo Games specializes in provably fair games. Provable fairness is a concept where players can verify their wins or losses using blockchain technology — the outcome of the game is dictated by a smart contract and is absolutely random, barring the possibility of any human involvement. Using cryptographic hashing algorithms, the gambling site and the player’s device both generate seeds (random strings of numbers). Players receive a key that allows them to check the results; if the results are the same as the game round they witnessed, it proves that there was no foul play.
According to statistics from Turbo Games, the audience for provably fair games is mostly between 18 and 25 years old. However, there are also players aged 35-40 who prefer traditional games but would like to try something new, and have turned their attention to provably fair games.
There are good odds that the technology of provably fair games will become more popular, if not even commonplace, because it gives players a feeling of transparency and proves that the business is trustworthy without the need to search through dozens of reviews. Whereas many innovations in iGaming simply add entertainment, provable fairness addresses security concerns and reassures players that they’re not being exploited, which is invaluable.
Provably fair games are beneficial for both players and online casinos. Vadim Potapenko, Head of Sales at Turbo Games, comments: “It often happens that the users are not satisfied with the result, because gambling is not only about big wins, but also possible losses. By allowing them to check the fairness of a bet, we make life easier for platforms and players. Of course, this allows us to communicate with partners and users that we work honestly and that’s why they should trust our games.”
Ayvar Gabidullin, Business Development Manager at Slotegrator, adds that “this type of game is now becoming more and more popular and has great potential for both players and game providers in the future. On the part of the player, the advantage is that the player can always be sure that his game is fair and he can independently check any of his bets. And for the game provider, this also simplifies the process of implementing casino games, since now it will not be necessary to obtain the appropriate certificates from independent laboratories before launching new games, they can immediately enter the market with these games and where anyone can check the result and make sure that that there is no cheating with players. Many game providers are starting to look towards this type of game. And as far as I see, many operators are starting to think about adding these games.”
What do players in 2023 need? The iGaming industry is all about reputation and trust. Players have a huge number of platforms to choose from, making them pickier and pickier. There’s an abundance of forums where players leave reviews, so if players view a brand as untrustworthy, there are plenty of places they can share their opinion. Provable fairness not only stops that from happening, it provides evidence to the contrary, giving players something else to talk about.
Slotegrator also recommends investing time and effort into localization and creating an effective and detailed marketing strategy — before trying provably fair technology players need to get to the platform, and there is no acquisition without marketing.

ABOUT TURBO GAMES
Turbo Games — a provably fair games provider that belongs to Turbo Stars company — has an ambitious goal to establish widespread recognition throughout the iGaming world. Even though it is young, the company consists of professionals who have been working on the brand for over five years and are even planning to introduce a new brand for a wider audience soon.
Turbo Games also works in Europe, India, and South Africa, where the company sees the most potential and expects the same “hype” as in Brazil.
The portfolio of Turbo Games consists of 21 titles, including well-known games like Mines, Crash X, DoubleRoll, Hi-Lo, and Plinko. The studio releases a game every month. However, not all games are developed from scratch. Wicket Blast and Spin Strike, the last two releases, are based on cricket and the Indian Premier League. Crash X remains the most popular fast game in the Turbo Games portfolio, and the studio reports that crash games enjoy stable levels of popularity. Overall, the main focus of the brand is provably fair games.
