SOFTSWISS’ Checklist for Smooth Affiliate Marketing Platform Migration
Reading Time: 2 minutes

 

Enhanced features, stronger security and lower costs are key reasons for migrating from one affiliate marketing platform to another. Affilka by SOFTSWISS, a leading affiliate tracking software provider, shares tips for a smooth migration process.

The checklist prepared by Affilka by SOFTSWISS experts will help make the migration process clearer and safer, streamlining cooperation with a new software provider

 

Pre-Migration

At this stage, goal setting, data selection and communication issues are of the highest priority. Affilka by SOFTSWISS’ team suggests operators start with:

  • Clarifying the desired objectives and outcomes of migration and identifying the key metrics to track before, during, and after the process.
  • Determining specific data to migrate, including player and partner history.
  • Assigning a dedicated person within its team to streamline communication with platform provider specialists during the migration.

 

Migration

The primary aspects to address during the migration process include ensuring that all stakeholders are fully informed and aware of the process, preparing mapping files, and configuring the system. At this point, the required steps are: 

  • Informing all stakeholders about the migration schedule, timeline and any potential downtime.
  • Collecting and formatting all necessary mapping files according to the new platform’s requirements. The data must be clean, accurate, and up-to-date.
  • Configuring the new platform settings, including commission plans and referral links, to ensure that all integrations with other systems function correctly.

 

Post-Migration

At the post-migration stage, effective communication with affiliates, organisation of training, and post-migration monitoring are imperative for facilitating subsequent operational success. After the migration, Affilka by SOFTSWISS’ experts recommend the following:

  • Notifying affiliates about the migration. This allows them to update their referral links promptly, minimising the need for additional player migrations later.
  • Offering training sessions for affiliates and operator personnel on using the new platform and providing comprehensive guides and information resources, which can facilitate further operations.
  • Monitoring the system for any post-migration issues and gathering feedback from affiliates and staff. These actions can help identify the areas for improvement.

Implementing these steps will help ensure a successful migration, minimising disruptions and maximising the benefits of the new system​.

Anastasia Borovaya, Head of Affilka by SOFTSWISS, summarises: “The migration timeframe depends on how quickly the client prepares the mapping files. More data means a longer process, but it typically takes a few weeks for preparation and a few hours for migration to the production environment. Quick and clear communication with the client’s team is essential for a successful migration. When the client responds promptly and clearly, the migration progresses smoothly as planned.”

GiG Media announce rebrand following spinoff announcement from Gaming Innovation Group
Reading Time: 2 minutes

 

New name. New logo. Same great affiliate.

Today marks the day of the official launch of GiG Media’s rebrand following the announcement of the spinoff from Gaming Innovation Group (GiG) platform and sportsbook.

We are pleased to announce that GiG Media has undergone a rebranding process in light of the spinoff and it’s thereof with great enthusiasm that we present our new independent brand, Gentoo Media.

The company will from now on be trademarked under Gentoo Media, and will operate under the name Gentoo.

Whilst introducing our new company name, along with our new logo and visual identity we ensure that Gentoo remains the same great affiliate, with the same great people, and the same great brands that we have become recognised for.

The rebrand marks a significant milestone in the company’s history in becoming a stand alone business in the second half of 2024*, continuing our track record of dominating the iGaming affiliate market with 13 successive quarters with all-time high revenue and strong EBITDA-margin reaching 48% in the last quarter.

Gentoo will continue to focus on our unwavering commitment to deliver superior results, growth and sustainable long-term partnerships, ensuring our partners that with Gentoo, you get more.

Our new company name Gentoo Media pays a tribute to GiG Media’s Rebel Penguin heritage, as Gentoo is an Antarctic penguin species known for prospering by coming together as a unit to survive and thrive. Gentoo further symbolises the next generation of the company’s legacy, opening a new chapter while continuing our path as a market leading affiliate, shaping the future of affiliation.

GiG Media will from today be found under a new array of assets under the Gentoo brand.

“The launch of our new brand is a big milestone for us in the process of separating GiG Media from Gaming Innovation Group. Gentoo has been created with all our partners and employees in mind, ensuring to communicate an accurate and genuine view of ourselves, the business and what we stand for and believe in. The launch of Gentoo marks a new era and we couldn’t be more excited for the future prospects of the business.” – Jonas Warrer, CEO

“The rebrand of GiG Media marks a pivotal moment in the separation of Gaming Innovation Group into two independent businesses, and is a vital step in the process of increasing shareholder value. The launch of Gentoo is a testament to the organisation’s dedication in delivering superior quality and results in every aspect of the business, and is setting the company off to a great start.” – Mikael Harstad, Chairman of the Board
