PROOF OF CONCEPT (POC) FOR A MEDIA PLATFORM

The project: 

The product is a cinematography database platform providing information on the cinema industry, including facts about films, actors, and directors. 

This cross-platform solution also allows users to find information on streaming services broadcasting the films and cinemas in which they can watch those movies. As for now, the platform is a proof of concept (PoC), but the customer has plans for growing the platform and expanding its functionality over time.

The customer:

Mediatech company.

Business challenge:

The customer wanted to create an early version of their product involving only the basic functionality. The main requirement was developing a cross-platform solution with a shared codebase that would be deployed to the web, iOS, and Android as an app. Meanwhile, the customer wanted to create a PoC in the short term and without significant budget spending.

Technology solutions:

 - A full-fledged cross-platform solution providing consistent user experience on the web, on various desktop operating systems, and on Android and iOS

 - Simple-to-edit and reliable codebase, with 95% of code re-used across different devices

 - The solution provides full control over how the UI is rendered and can easily configure SSR and CSR for high performance and full SEO coverage

 - Fast development with MudBlazor components that provide out-of-the-box control over the application, as well as responsive design support

Value delivered:

 - The customer received an app's PoC with the basic planned functionality in less than 3 weeks

 - The database of the platform is constantly expanding, as the app is intended to grow into a large-scale storage of cinema-related information

 - We laid a foundation for the app that can significantly grow and expand its functionality over time, according to the customer's plans

 - Efficient cross-platform solution providing consistent user experience and performance on the web, on desktop operating systems, Android, and iOS
