Project Summary

Octal Info Solutions rebuilt an Android video-on-demand app for a content platform serving African markets, integrating custom APIs for encryption and payment and migrating hosting from Amazon Web Services to an IBM solution. The app achieved steady traction (100–200 downloads per day) and significant social engagement, and the vendor is being considered for ongoing maintenance and further platform work.

Key Challenges

Coordinate work across around eight vendors creating APIs
Rebuild the app from scratch because existing source code could not be reused
Integrate payment methods suitable for the African market (mobile money), causing an 8-month delay

Project Deliverables

Custom APIs for encryption and payment
