About the project
Our client is a market-leading provider of IP video and digital signage technology that helps organizations to harness the power of video to engage, inform and entertain. Their end-to-end IPTV and digital signage solutions enable users to capture TV and video content directly from any source.
With IPTV, the user can easily distribute terrestrial and satellite television and radio, videos, DVDs, digital video-on-demand (VoD), digital signage, information boards, and web content throughout the facility.
Exterity’s customers include BBC, NHS, Thomson Reuters, Dubai Airport, University College London, Stade Pierre-Mauroy, Sanofi, The Open, Six Senses Zighy Bay Oman, Royal Randwick Racecourse, Phoenix TV Beijing, and many more.
The challenge
To keep products maintained at a high level and keep developing new solutions, our customer decided to extend the capacity of their core engineering team by using an external service provider.
The additional requirements for the potential partner included having strong JavaScript and UI experience to augment its own technical expertise.
The solution
Since the start of our cooperation, the team has mainly worked on two products.
The first one is an aftercare warranty solution that provides end users with software and firmware updates. It also includes:
- access to the support team
- bug fixes
- additional user interface options.
With its help, users can maximize system performance, manage devices, update them, and improve functionality.
For this product, our JavaScript engineers have successfully developed the front-end side using the AngularJS framework, which was already used in the core app.
Our quality assurance engineer monitors the development process at every stage to ensure all the functionality works properly.
As the development of some parts of the system requires testing on physical devices, e.g., certain commercial TVs or customers’ own media players, such hardware was set up in the ELITEX office so that the team could work efficiently.
The second product is a great video analytics tool, offering access to various statistics, including the number and duration of views, etc.
As this product was new and had to be developed from scratch, the decision was made to build it with modern tools:
- React framework on the front-end side
- Node.js on the back end.
The result
Currently, the team consists of the following:
- JavaScript developers of various levels
- QA engineer
- Project manager
The team's main task is to extend the customer’s product functionality and support the existing apps.
As a result, the complex of Exterity’s solutions became even more robust, allowing the company to fulfill the needs of existing customers and engage with new customers worldwide.
