Bonjour, folks!
Oracle designates SOFTSWISS Deputy CTO as top in Africa, using South Africa as the starting point
Exciting news from the world of tech - SOFTSWISS, a top iGaming software firm, has punched above its weight with its Deputy Chief Technology Officer, Sergey Kastukevich, snagging the CTO of the Year award in the EMEA region at the 2025 Oracle Excellence Awards.
Now, stick with me, because this is a big deal! The Oracle Excellence Awards are hosted by the world's second-largest software developer, Oracle (right after Microsoft and ahead of other IT heavyweights). These accolades aim to acknowledge global tech leaders that drive innovation, not mere participants in it. Check out companies like Vodafone, Shiseido Company Limited, and PayPal, who've won in the past.
It's not all sunshine and rainbows to win this prestigious award, my friends. Sergey Kastukevich was lauded by Oracle for his knack for smartly leveraging cutting-edge technologies to propel SOFTSWISS' goals – objectives such as minimizing operational costs, boosting system stability, and creating groundbreaking products that mutually benefit the company and the entire iGaming industry[1][5].
Now, you might think, "That's cool, but what's SOFTSWISS all about?" Well, with nearly 15 years of know-how, SOFTSWISS delivers robust, secure, and scaleable platforms, catering to 1,200 brands across the globe[1][5]. To keep up with their game-changing projects, SOFTSWISS collaborates closely with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), making their innovations reliable and secure.
When asked about the recognition received in a region where SOFTSWISS has significant operations, Deputy CTO Sergey Kastukevich said, "We take pride in our successful partnership with Oracle OCI," adding that this award is more than just a personal honor for him – it reflects the broader confidence in SOFTSWISS' innovation-led approach as it expands its business in one of the world's most dynamic digital frontiers[1][5].
