International Game Technology subsidiary IGT Global Services Limited has signed a contract with Lotterie-Treuhandgesellschaft mbH Thüringen in Germany for the modernization and maintenance of its central system.
Under the contract, which is for seven years with optional renewals thereafter, IGT will provide Thüringen Lottery with an evolved central system solution that includes hardware and technology upgrade, as well as system modularity and improved third-party access. This project modernizes the current central system that has successfully powered Thüringen Lottery’s processing, reporting and transactions for the past 12 years. The system is expected to launch in the beginning of 2018.
“With this new long-term contract, Thüringen Lottery will continue to benefit from the security and reliability of a modernized central system from IGT, while reducing the costs of future enhancements and offering overall improved service,” said Declan Harkin, IGT senior vice president and chief operating officer, international. “This contract will ensure the lottery’s sustainability and success now and in the years to come, and represents our ongoing commitment to growing our presence in the German lottery market.”
