    World renowned sportsbook business Bowman International has reached an agreement with online gaming developer IQ-Ludorum plc to deploy IQ-Ludorum’s integrated gaming software.

    Starting with the 2001 football season, Bowmans will complement its telephone call centre operation with an Internet-based system utilizing IQ-Netsports 4.0, IQ-Ludorum’s leading edge Internet sportsbook software. In short order, Bowman’s well-established call centre business will be upgraded with IQ-Ludorum’s call centre software - IQ-Sportstech 4.0, providing seamless account integration with the Internet system - IQ-Netsports, upon completion of the deployment.

    "We looked at a number of different options to better serve our growing customer base and concluded that the integrated call centre and Internet-based software developed by IQ-Ludorum’s latest 4.0 release, provided us with the best possible solution to meet increasing customer demand."
Gary Bowman,  CEO - Bowman International

Richard Brightling – Managing Director UK/Europe, IQ-Ludorum plc
 

    The deployment of IQ- Ludorum’s software solutions will enable Bowmans to offer a wide variety of bet types to meet the demand of an increasingly sophisticated base of customers.  Utilizing leading XML technology, IQ-Netsports 4.0 will allow Bowmans to handle much larger demand with the capability to support 40,000 concurrent users and 2 million transactions per week.
