Can an old dog learn new tricks, Part 24
It seems William Hill is having some trouble adapting to the digital century (from The Guardian):
A failed website relaunch has wiped £22m off William Hill’s profits for 2007.
The bookmaker admitted today that it has scrapped a major upgrade of its internet betting operations. The platform, dubbed NextGen, had been scheduled to launch by last month and allow the firm to significantly improve its online gambling offerings.
But following an internal review, William Hill – which has been without a chief executive for more than three months – has decided to ditch NextGen. It now plans to use a “third-party technology solution” that will not be ready until the end of 2008.
I wonder if the kids over at Betfair could lend a hand?
