Understanding Your Needs

The challenges holding your organisation back — drawn directly from our discovery conversations.

Limited Data Visibility

Tableau snapshots, no live data, manual extraction from multiple sources. Decision-making is based on stale reports.

Vendor Fragmentation & No Technical Coordination

Multiple third-party suppliers (frontend, backend, hosting, trading) operating without unified oversight. No technical project manager asking the right questions or holding vendors accountable.

Infrastructure Via Intermediaries

Middleman hosting, limited visibility, slow response times. You don't own the relationship with your infrastructure.

Registration & Conversion Bottleneck

Users sign up but don't convert to depositing players. A technical hurdle exists somewhere in the registration-to-deposit flow — but without diagnostic capability, the root cause remains unknown.

Fragmented Workspace & Infrastructure

Proton, Gmail, Slack, and Google Drive with no centralised identity. Physical servers via intermediary at €17K/month. No unified platform, no direct cloud control.

No CTO, No Strategic Roadmap

CTO departed, leaving critical decisions unresolved: vendor contract value, IP ownership strategy, cost reduction targets, crypto integration, and World Cup launch readiness. No 6–18 month technology plan aligned with business growth.

Why SKIOS

SKIOS is uniquely positioned to deliver a comprehensive technology transformation for Lucky Shares.

A Note on Infrastructure Operations

Following our March 20th meeting with Annalisa and Lukas, we identified that the technology operations requirements span two distinct tracks: software operations (vendor coordination, deployment management, platform optimisation) and infrastructure operations (server management, backups, security hardening, M365, cloud migration). To ensure each track receives the specialist depth it deserves, we have engaged Veracloud — our infrastructure and cloud security arm — to provide dedicated pricing for the infrastructure scope. Their proposal will be addressed directly to your team. This approach ensures accurate, transparent pricing rather than a single blended figure that may obscure the detail of what you are receiving.
