Project Summary

Andersen provided full‑stack development teams to build a complex dual‑platform paid‑TV and VoD mobile application (Android, iOS) and an Android TV app for a national cable operator. The client retained design and project leadership in‑house while Andersen supplied scalable developer staffing and support for UX/UI elements and core app data. The app is described as the largest in Russia and has received positive client feedback; the engagement follows an outsourcing/staff‑augmentation model with ongoing work since 2015.
