Paddy Power Betfair launches better products faster with private cloud datacenter platform
Betting on the future
Paddy Power Betfair needs to be able to launch and adapt products and services quickly. The company needed to replace its existing datacenter platform to provide the level of agility needed going forward.
We’ve established a datacenter platform that will provide the foundations we need going forward as our newly merged company continues to flourish.
