PowerSource consulting showcase: Korea Racing Association
The project
In 1998, PowerSource was retained by Daewoo Information Systems Co., Ltd., to assist them and the Korea Racing Association with the detailed design study for a new on and off-track betting system for deployment throughout Korea. In addition to providing extensive on-track, off-track and telephone betting facilities, the new KRA system is designed to also allow parimutuel wagering via the World Wide Web and mobile wireless devices.
In January 2000, PowerSource were retained by Samsung SDS, Korea's largest system integrator, and the Korea Racing Association to provide technical consulting services for the duration of the 4 year implementation timeframe of the KRA's totalisator project. Specifically, PowerSource's role has been to assist both groups with the architecture, detailed design and implementation of the new Korea-wide parimutuel totalisator system. PowerSource's key role in this prestigious large-scale project continued until its completion in late 2004.
The Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade also has a article on PowerSource's involvement with the KRA entitled "CASE STUDY: PowerSource Software Pty. Ltd" (see section 4.3.1).
