trading because it ’ s already quite competitive at the top end . We ’ re looking to expand the market from the bottom .”
The pace of change at Libertex in the past 12 months may have been swift but Brett is proud that his IT team has risen to the challenge and technology hasn ’ t been the bottleneck . The company ’ s development centre in Belgrade has taken on new staff ( the IT department has swelled from 90 to 170 ). “ We ’ re always evolving and finding new ways to work with product
launches reaching the market ,” says Brett . “ We ’ re keeping pace with the key issues around Big Data , introducing agility and managing security , while ensuring our platforms are scalable . We ’ re not aiming to be bleeding edge , but we ’ re in the game .” That game is good to go globally , with Libertex setting sights on addressing performance in South America and Asia . “ We ’ re looking at ways we can break up our environment so that we can distribute it worldwide and address any performance issues ,” confirms Brett . “ Again , AWS has been very helpful to us in this space . There ’ s always a training or security issue to address , but the commercial side of the business has all the tools it needs to be successful . Looking ahead to 2020 , now is the time for us to focus on developing an IT-excellence programme , so that we ’ re actually confident that data is good , performance is good , security is good , and we ’ re eliminating what ’ s left of the monolithic solution .”
