It is all about streaming video these days and we are on top of it!

BlizzCat is a customized content management platform that extends Innovative Dynamix's TheMIX. The system handles the metadata, content and related assets for Blizzard, such as thumbnails, cover and poster art.

Multiple teams can track the progress of content as it passes through the digital supply chain while providing necessary metadata to OTT subscription services for end-user consumption.

The Challenge

Blizzard Entertainment needed a robust content management solution that could handle their extensive digital asset library while supporting multiple teams across different stages of the content pipeline. The platform needed to integrate seamlessly with various OTT services and provide real-time tracking capabilities.

Our Solution

We developed a comprehensive platform that streamlines content management and metadata handling. The system features:

Customized CMS built on TheMIX framework
Advanced metadata management with Elastic Search
Real-time collaboration tools for multiple teams
Automated asset processing and thumbnail generation
Seamless OTT platform integration

Results

The BlizzCAT platform successfully streamlined Blizzard's content delivery pipeline, reducing processing time by 40% and improving team collaboration across the digital supply chain. The system now handles thousands of assets daily with high reliability and performance.
