Crisis Averted: Bulletproof Helps Lotteries Mitigate Risks Through Professional Solutions

Today’s technological advancements allow lotteries more opportunities than ever to elevate their operations, enhance game offerings, and introduce new ways to play, thereby extending their market reach. Successfully adopting and managing these technologies help lotteries increase revenue and attract new players in the face of unprecedented competition. However, this added complexity brings escalated security, operational, and reputational risks. 

High-stakes lottery projects such as launching a technology transformation, introducing new games, applications, or gaming functionality, and transitioning from one lottery system vendor to another bring unique opportunities and risks. Each requires experienced project management, a deep understanding of the security risks inherent to lotteries, knowledge of the complex gaming regulatory landscape, and insight that can only be gained from years of technology transformation experience in the highly specialized lottery and gaming industry.

To help mitigate risk, Bulletproof has partnered with state lotteries to assist in tackling high-stakes gaming system launches and transition projects. Lotteries raise critical funds for education, veterans, community projects, and other public-good causes. Any interruption to their operations could have both short and long-term negative impacts on the revenue these organizations rely on for their beneficiaries. Bulletproof’s expertise has helped lotteries succeed without missing a single day of sales, thereby protecting the integrity of our lottery partners.

Bulletproof’s Approach to Lottery Launches & Transitions Through Project Management Solutions

Due to the unique nature of the lottery business, lotteries need superior project planning, testing, and management capabilities to ensure their projects run smoothly without disrupting their day-to-day operations or financials.

The proven project management and governance methodology Bulletproof uses to establish our industry-leading Project Management Office (PMO) helps to achieve these goals.

Bulletproof Frame

Through our Initiate - Discover – Design – Build - Implement framework, Bulletproof has established comprehensive testing plans for multiple systems, dependencies, and game types, including draw and scratch games, claims and payments, retailer licensing, and instant processing management. We complete all pre-launch testing and mission-critical parallel processing testing before the go-live dates to ensure new systems are fully ready to be deployed before old systems are decommissioned.

As a highly regulated industry, operators benefit from a technology partner with comprehensive knowledge of lottery regulations in all jurisdictions. To complement our PMO services, quality assurance and testing are critical to the successful execution of both small and large projects.

We offer lottery consulting, test automation, performance testing, quality assurance assessments, and advanced security services to help lottery organizations gain even more confidence in their new and existing products, services, and systems. We support and augment the lotteries’ in-house experts to ensure they continue to operate with maximum efficiency, meet business objectives, and ensure uninterrupted revenue flow.

Ensuring Crises are Averted with QA & Testing Solutions

Throughout our many lottery testing projects, such as complex system conversions or modernizations, system updates, and specific game testing – we offer the expertise to identify the defects.

We provide insights and solutions on the often-high percentage of defects categorized as “high-severity” with no workarounds, which could delay product or system launch and revenue if not successfully addressed potentially resulting in the loss of tens of thousands of dollars in sales and net revenue per day…we’ve consistently prevented these defects from finding the field.
