Background
Quickplay is a media company who's goal is to power TV to
every device. Recently acquired by AT&T, their application
powers mobile video services for live TV, video on demand
(VOD) and radio for companies including AT&T Wireless, Bell
Mobility, Verizon Wireless, Motorola Mobility, Rogers Wireless,
Blackberry, Sirius XM, and U.S. Cellular.
Our Challenge
We were tasked by Quickplay to bring their advanced content
management system (CMS) up to date with UX and UI patterns
and styles fit for 2016. Our challenge was to create a web
application where content managers can upload, edit, and post
content to multiple content provider accounts (such as Bell,
HBO, etc.). The user would select the account they wish to
manage, add a piece of content, and fill out the corresponding
data for that episode, program, or movie. The user can then
schedule the new content to be played/streamed live on the
selected content provider.
Project Outcome
As a open service platform, the application ecosystem was
created to be open, flexible, and modular. This means that the
product is very feature rich and highly customizable. Our design
goals were to interpret, organize, and simplify these features
into a clean, task-focused user interface. Multiple navigation
elements, advanced filters, and dense forms were synthesized
into a easy to use and understand experience.
