Ganchrow Scientific is the leading provider of statistics-driven sports data for North and South American markets. They are the only eGaming development company to provide both intelligent line management integrated with a play-facing front end. Ganchrow Scientific has its roots in the hedge funds of Wall Street and the offices of academia. Their algorithms, strategy, and technology were born from years of experience working in a leading Wall Street firm. They have taken their experience and applied it to calculating the best sports betting lines. The company offers a complete betting platform, as well as fully-managed and self-managed lines. Customers can choose a turn-key solution for their Sportsbook, or they can integrate Ganchrow’s high-quality data into their existing operation. Ganchrow consistently pushes the state-of-the-art for the speed, reliability, and quality of their event data and products.
Update all events simultaneously with topic views, giving clients only the messages they want to see.
Reliably delivering data in real-time to global customers.
Eliminates the need and cost of IT talent to support the cloud infrastructure.
While building their products, Ganchrow realized that In order to meet their speed, reliability, and quality goals, the Costa Rican-based company faced some challenges. Latin American ISPs are notoriously unreliable. Technology companies running real-time, event-driven applications via the Internet must overcome the poor quality-of-service. The second challenge was the efficiency, performance, and scaling requirements of their applications. The final challenge was the need to simplify and speed their application development, despite the small pool of available top-notch, local technical talent in Costa Rica.
As an innovator in their industry, Ganchrow required a platform that would allow them to reliably distribute their data in real-time and expand the performance boundaries of their products. Ganchrow also wanted to speed and simplify development, and secure and harden their application infrastructure without the added burden of difficult to hire programming talent and in-house support and maintenance staff. Ganchrow’s development plan began with integration of legacy applications that are particularly sensitive to minor structural changes. These applications will be updated and supplanted over time. Therefore, the near-term requirements were fast, simple integration that could accommodate a wide variety of data structures. Their long-term need is ease of modification, expansion, and management of the data models fueling their applications.
Data management and distribution is the heart of Ganchrow’s gaming operations. The company’s products initially used polling but polling products do not scale to serve the requirements of real-time applications. Further polling systems are more costly, and difficult to maintain and actively manage the data distribution. They needed a real-time data management and distribution platform to serve their applications. The company learned about Diffusion Cloud via a colleague who uses Diffusion Cloud at another successful DiffusionData customer company.
The Ganchrow team signed up free for Diffusion Cloud. After testing Diffusion they selected it to power their Ganchrow Live and Ganchrow Pre-match offerings, as well as to integrate with 3rd party sports and betting data providers such as Betradar. In their first month of production they processed 5.5 billion messages through Diffusion Cloud – without a hitch.
For Ganchrow, Diffusion Cloud eliminates their ISP Quality-of-Service challenges, reduces Bandwidth costs, eliminates the need and cost of IT talent to support the cloud infrastructure, speeds development and innovation, and increases their application performance by reliably delivering data in real-time to global customers.
The development team is pleased with the speed at which they could adopt the Diffusion Cloud platform into their operations, with minimal changes to their applications. An important ongoing benefit of the Diffusion platform is that whenever Ganchrow adds, modifies, or replaces a back-end system, Diffusion Cloud minimizes the impact of changes on their applications, speeding market delivery of new functionality and devices. Over time, Ganchrow plans to take advantage of additional functionality of Diffusion Cloud to tune and expand their product functionality, and drive their mission of consistently pushing the state- of-the art for the speed, reliability, and quality of their data-driven products.
