Broadcasting Without Borders: A SaaS Live Event Platform That Unified Management, Streaming, and Engagement
Executive Summary
Present Communications a UK provider of audio-visual services, video conferencing, webcasting, and video production for the live events industry was streaming events through Wowza but managing everything else manually. They needed a single digital platform for event creation, live and on-demand video, attendee access, interactive tools, and engagement analytics. Net Solutions built it as a white-labelled SaaS product for enterprise clients worldwide.
The Challenge
Present Communications had streaming capability but no unified digital infrastructure for end-to-end event management.
Fragmented Event Operations
Event creation, invitations, and attendee management were all handled manually through separate tools and processes. The operational burden was significant and error-prone.
No Unified Platform
Live streaming, slide synchronization, Q&A, and polling all operated in isolation with no shared platform connecting them. Organizers and attendees experienced a fragmented event journey.
Wowza API Authentication Gap
Wowza’s existing APIs required custom modification to support the authentication workflow the platform needed. The integration required more engineering depth than a standard implementation.
Adaptive Streaming Requirement
The platform needed a video player capable of adaptive bitrate streaming with Flash fallback for older browsers. Finding and configuring a solution that met both requirements was not straightforward.
White-Label Requirement
Enterprise resellers needed to brand and customize the platform for their own clients. A single-tenant architecture would not work for this commercial model.
Our Approach
Net Solutions ran structured scoping sessions to define all requirements from scratch, then integrated Wowza with custom API authentication and implemented JW Player with adaptive bitrate streaming. The platform was built as a SaaS architecture with full white-label capability, geo-location access controls, and end-to-end event automation. Technologies used – JavaScript, Java, MySQL, AWS.
The Solution
Net Solutions delivered a scalable, white-labelled live event platform with full management and audience engagement functionality.
