When Viacom Inc. merged with CBS, we worked hand in hand with the internal ViacomCBS teams to migrate Smithsonian iOS and AppleTV apps to a new technological platform.

While working on this project we were deeply integrated into the workflow of our client just like one of its own teams.

Project Tasks
  • Mobile Development

    We've worked on migrating the content logic from the old projects to a new proprietary technology stack for Smithsonian iOS and Android apps. This also included hands-on development and various code-level integrations with third party providers that you can find in the technology stack of this project.

  • AppleTV Development

    We've provided maintenance and development support for the Smithsonian AppleTV app including redesign and code refactoring where it was required.

  • Design Implementation

    We've implemented the UI design received from our customer into the newly created apps. The UX was handled by the client.

  • Content Integration

    We've handled the integration of the content from Viacom's proprietary streaming service to the newly created apps.
