Cloud Application Development From PDG
Enterprise cloud platforms offer protection for corporate data from any number of crises that can occur. Developing in the cloud ensures that your data is protected and accessible when you need it. This minimizes potential downtime and ensures that you can always run your business as usual.
See below for examples of cloud software solutions that our PDG engineers have provided its clients.
Cloud-Based Rights Management Solutions
We have redesigned existing rights management systems in conjunction with our CCAE software suite to ensure that newly created data is always at our clients’ fingertips—regardless of their location or which device they are using. Operating on the cloud allows our clients to scale their rights management engines to accommodate surges in application usage, and similarly throttle their apps to manage cost during periods of downtime.

Project Name
DIRECTV STREAM Content Provider DAI
Overview
We led the initiative by designing, integrating, and testing an upgraded technology stack from the Server Side Ad Insertion (SSAI) vendor used in the over-the-top streaming platform at DIRECTV. The design allowed us to synethically separate the National (Content Provider owned) and Local (Distributor / DIRECTV owned) avails within a single commerical break, and request for ad decisions for each avail separate from the Content Provider ad decision services and DIRECTV's own ad decision services.
This involved iterative cycles of functional, integration, client, and load testing with focus on platform stability and user experience once the new content provider ads entered the system. We project managed this effort across numerous cross-function DIRECTV teams, external vendors, and content providers.
