CASE OVERVIEW.
Our client, a leading telecom provider, sought to develop a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) showcasing their vision of an advanced web-based audio and video conferencing platform. The MVP needed to:
- Integrate a high-definition (HD) voice conferencing backend via an advanced audio bridge.
- Support large-scale online events with multiple real-time participants.
- Impress stakeholders to secure funding for full-scale development.
This high-stakes project required a robust, user-friendly, and bug-free solution to establish the client as a competitive force in the global communication service market.
