Perlas Network takes care of more than 2000 terminals around Lithuania. Currently, the system is owned by IGT and they are also looking after Perlas’ system development, maintenance, integration with partner systems and functionality expansion. Front IT is assisting Perlas Network with this large scale project and planning to take the system functionality to the next level.
Until now, the system was taken care of by a large corporation in the United States – IGT (Gtech). One of the reasons Front IT is taking the ownership of the system – the ability to advance its technological state and functionality and further develop it.
Front IT is creating a Java department that would be able to take full control of the code and ownership.
