Business context
StageClip reached out to The Software House to improve the performance and scalability of its web application for managing videos from graduation ceremonies.
Due to the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, the company found itself in need of accelerating a project of moving the real-life university ceremonies to the internet. The concept now commonly known as ”virtual graduations.”
The idea was to create a web platform that allows the students to upload their short graduation speeches and send them through the web app. The Software House was chosen to cooperate with StageClip and build this new application.
Once we completed this project, we began working on another part of the ecosystem – the Producer module. It makes it easy for organizations such as universities to manage all the videos, communicate with students, publish the content and more.
Partnership goal To upgrade the technology stack and build a new platform for virtual graduation ceremonies
Before
StageClip struggled with a somewhat inefficient, WordPress-based platform
After
The new platform is a scalable high-performance Node.js application used by thousand of schools all over the world
The Software House formed a full scrum team who led the initial development process for StageClip
We worked on:
Team formation
The team was quite small, with 2 developers and 0,5 (part-time) QA Engineer. Their job was to work on the improvements of the existing StageClip platform.
When the decision was made to develop the new virtual graduation platform at a record pace, The Software House managed to scale up the team to 6 Node/React developers and 1,5 QA Engineers.
At the time of maximum involvement, our team had 22 specialists of various kind.
Our partnership
In the course of two years, we helped StageClip develop its new platform and take it to a new level – in terms of user experience, quality, performance, scalability and more.
The development
The central part of the project involved developing a new web application using primarily React and Node. The challenge was not only to develop a quality app, but also to do it in a couple wekks. We managed to do it by scaling our team up in accordance with the client’s needs.
Our development team built all the necessary functionalities such as email management and delivery system, the event configuration panel and the clip delivery system.
The future
StageClip is already successfully using the new platform to market their unique approach to graduation ceremonies. And there are still many new ideas for improvements and features, including a comprehensive module for clients to manage their videos.
