Faster & Smoother Deliveries with DevOps

Fast and flexible delivery options are the key reasons for the innumerous success stories at VPlayed. To further fasten the pace and keep it transparent, we’ve adopted the DevOps methodology to deliver the product.

What made us opt for DevOps?

  • Agile Practice – Gone are the days of traditional software development! Agile breaks down the process into sprints along with delivering a ‘working software’ at the end of each sprint. With shorter delivery times, we are working on making our solution more efficient and customer-centric. 
  • Blurs the line b/w development and operation Independently deployable modules facilitate a feature go live without impacting the already existing product that’s been functioning.
  • Breaks down complex modules – In DevOps, the entire project is split into modules, which in turn quickens our delivery process, thus reducing risk.
  • Faster integration and delivery – It all boils down to a more streamlined, and error-free delivery process that benefits the customer monetarily. 

Swifter Project Change Request Management

Mid-project changes can be tedious if not handled properly. We at VPlayed value customer satisfaction more than anything else, and hence delivering a solution that exactly matches the client requirements matters the most.

This year, we have curated the best ‘project change request management’ plan to ensure that deliveries don’t get hindered by the alteration in requirements. 

This is how we’ve restructured our PCRM to accommodate changing requests without impacting the project flow.

In case you are wondering what Roku is, it is a media player device that offers space for multiple channels and streaming apps to be viewed by its subscribers and device owners. 

Statista has stated that Roku had reached a spiking 51.2 million active monthly subscribers by the end of 2020 which means that launching an OTT app on Roku is the best bet content owners can make.

To further enhance this, we’ve added an extra DRM security layer to protect the copyrights of the digital content by restricting unauthorized downloads on hacker devices.

This option is highly beneficial for content owners/ distributors to grow their subscriber base which in turn boosts revenue. Explore what the different revenue-generating models are!
