NRT and Sightline Announce Exclusive Agreement with Kony to Create the Next Generation Digital Platform for the Resort Casino Industry
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Kony's AppPlatform, combined with NRT and Sightline's Respective Technology
Offerings, Will Lead the Casino Market Digital Transformation
LAS VEGAS, Oct. 02, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NRT Technology Corp. ("NRT") a
leading provider of integrated ticket redemption and payment services to global
casino operators, and Sightline Payments ("Sightline"), developers of the
disruptive Play+ platform that's powering the next generation of cashless and
mobile gaming payment solutions, announced today an exclusive agreement with
Kony, Inc., the leading enterprise mobility and digital applications company.
This combination creates an all-in-one, fully native app that will serve as the
foundation platform for all casino operator omni-channel products and services,
further reinforcing NRT and Sightline's mutual "Connecting the Guest
Experience(TM)" strategy for a worldwide integrated resort casino industry.
"The collaboration with NRT and Sightline will ensure that their casino
customers have access to the most advanced digital experiences available today,"
said Nate Bruce, Business Development & Alliances, Kony, Inc. "The Kony digital
AppPlatform is designed to support all of the digital experiences that a casino
guest could ever need and demand, today and in the future."
John Dominelli, CEO of NRT, said, "More casino operators are realizing the
importance of mobile apps, but are also discovering that deploying, managing,
and enabling apps for next generation products and services can be a very
painful and unfulfilling endeavor. The gaming industry is filled with suppliers
whose mobile systems don't integrate with one another, causing friction and
disconnect between operators and their guests. It is this 'broken' mishmash of
mobile systems that Kony, NRT and Sightline have collectively addressed."
Casinos will for the first time have an enterprise mobile platform that will
Connect the Guest Experience(TM) for loyalty, commerce, hospitality and gaming
experiences.
"Casino enterprises recognize the importance of a mobile experience for their
guests," said Kirk Sanford, Chief Executive Officer of Sightline Payments.
"Unfortunately operators are faced with challenges around user experiences,
costs, disparate systems, and management of their app which is stifling their
ability to innovate. We think the timing couldn't be better to announce this
deal with Kony because operators know that if they fail to innovate quickly they
will become irrelevant in this digital era."
Kony's digital AppPlatform and NRT and Sightline's respective technology
enhancements will integrate the following:
* Property information portals and dynamic advertisement engagement
* Physical and digital payment methods and resort wallets
* Numerous forms of physical and mobile gaming
* Social gaming
* Cardless player loyalty
* Casino Management Systems
* Hospitality point of sale and property management systems
* Experiential features like geofencing, chat bots for voice navigation,
facial recognition, beacons, augmented reality, and in-app video for face-
to-face experiences
