The roadmap is built around several priorities: expanding across regulated markets, advancing product maturity and technical performance, accelerating delivery for partners, and scaling innovation with a stronger focus on AI-enabled workflows. SOFTSWISS will also continue investing in client service, people, and industry education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Regulated market footprint expansion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">SOFTSWISS has made expanding its footprint across regulated markets&nbsp;<strong>a core part of its strategy for 2026<\/strong>. As a mature tech partner with compliant, market-ready products, tailored service, and advanced analytics, SOFTSWISS will continue supporting operators with stable performance and innovation, without compromising security. This approach helps partners stay ready for regulatory updates, meet evolving player protection standards, and enter new markets with confidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tech excellence<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A key operational focus for 2026 is&nbsp;<strong>technology execution<\/strong>: improving development speed, shortening delivery cycles for partners, and maintaining stable performance as products evolve. SOFTSWISS will continue refining processes from initial scope to production, aiming to accelerate feature development and implementation without compromising quality, reliability, security, or compliance readiness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This approach is already reflected in a record Sportsbook delivery completed in 14 calendar days \u2013 from contract signing to the first bet. In 2026, SOFTSWISS plans to build on this momentum by further optimising delivery workflows and strengthening cross-team collaboration, helping partners move faster from request to release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">AI-driven innovation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To support execution and innovation at scale, SOFTSWISS will increase the adoption of&nbsp;<strong>AI-powered tools across teams<\/strong>&nbsp;in 2026, embedding them into day-to-day workflows to improve speed and consistency from feature request to production. The company has already introduced the chief artificial intelligence officer role internally, reinforcing its commitment to AI as a strategic focus and setting a clear direction for further development in this area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Ivan Montik<\/strong>, founder of SOFTSWISS, said: \u201cGoing into 2026, we are taking a very pragmatic view of what partners need from a technology provider: predictable delivery, resilient performance, and solutions that are ready for regulated markets. We are strengthening product maturity, speeding up execution through smarter tooling, including AI, and continuing to invest in the service and expertise that help operators grow with confidence.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Elevating partners experience<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">SOFTSWISS will continue strengthening partner experience in 2026, building on regular research conducted with Kantar. Recent findings indicate high satisfaction levels across the company\u2019s solutions, with an 8.3 out of 10 client satisfaction score for the&nbsp;<strong>SOFTSWISS Casino Platform<\/strong>&nbsp;and a Customer Satisfaction Score of 9 out of 10 for the&nbsp;<strong>SOFTSWISS Game Aggregator<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2026, the software provider plans to further raise the bar across all touchpoints \u2013 from technical performance and delivery to commercial support and day-to-day collaboration \u2013 reinforcing a partner-first approach where SOFTSWISS and its partners work as one team, aligned around shared outcomes and long-term growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Strengthening thought leadership and industry education<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Alongside product and market priorities, SOFTSWISS will continue investing in&nbsp;<strong>internal culture, people development, and industry education<\/strong>, strengthening knowledge-sharing within igaming and across adjacent technology communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Following the release of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/focusgn.com\/africa\/softswiss-shares-exclusive-insights-from-upcoming-2026-igaming-trends-report-marketing-trends\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">2026 iGaming Trends<\/a>, the fourth edition of its flagship report, the software provider plans to publish its fifth anniversary edition this year, continuing its research-led work for operators, platforms, and partners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The SOFTSWISS team will be attending&nbsp;<strong>ICE Barcelona 2026<\/strong>&nbsp;and will be available for meetings at Stand 1B30.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The company&#8217;s roadmap is built around several priorities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":176,"featured_media":16235,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"is_press_release":true,"is_interview":false,"is_opinion":false,"focusai_summary":"SOFTSWISS has unveiled its 2026 strategic roadmap, prioritizing expansion into regulated markets, enhancing product maturity and technical performance, and accelerating partner delivery.
