Solution

To create a marketable and engaging product, we decided to split the project into smaller modules for separate target audiences. This decision increased the complexity level of project management but proved to effective in meeting the goals. Our OpenVidu experience allowed us to deploy video conference servers integrated with collaborative IT project management functionality. On client side we used WebRTC with Objective-C and OpenVidu Angular libraries. The overall architecture includes the following components:

JOB & CANDIDATE SEARCH

The component allows to search, hire and pay specialists. The features include job posting editor, candidate search, as well as quotes and billing functions.

COMMUNICATION

This module was created for the users to communicate, collaborate and keep the projects up to date. Its functionality allows text messaging, voice and video calls.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT

This toolset is geared towards tracking and analyzing a project’s progress. Its main objective is to create online spaces for project planning and team collaboration.

While we were carrying out the project, even more challenges were turned into business opportunities:

• The need to cover the management of distributed teams was turned into the functionality allowing freelance teams to work as efficiently as traditional companies
• Full cycle team management capabilities in a single digital space brought bulk buyers to the platform
• Tax and accounting friendly document management boosted freelance usage
