Team developed a custom tool for Metadata normalization for the client. The tool provided metadata seeding, editing, review and approval features to improve productivity and accuracy of the metadata factory operations.
Business Scenario
The Client has an immense amount of media (CD, DVD, MP3, etc.) information in different formats stored within disparate systems (Oracle, Excel, and SQL Server). This made the maintenance and tracking of the full media inventory extremely difficult and very time consuming.
Client needed a comprehensive metadata solution to ensure that each customer query received the correct information so as to more easily result in monetization. Client also wished to develop a unified technology (Common Client/SDK Technology) for Mobile, Auto, Cloud/Desktop, and Home with shared code base, which could be used as fundamental building blocks for each Vertical to develop products quickly and provide differentiation for specific market requirements
