GSI was brought into the Sony Pictures Television, Media Centre project late in 2013 to augment the existing team. Media Centre manages the digital media supply chain where it ingests and delivers core media files to broadcasting centers and catch-up operators across Europe and soon to be worldwide. While working with project stakeholders, we delivered over 350 individual comps with supporting documentation and spent 11 months as the product design and application development leader for the project.

Venue allows content owners and aggregators to launch a one-stop shop OTT platform backed by their industry leading digital supply chain solutions. The Venue offering provides a compelling and unique experience unlike anything available on the market today.
Sony Pictures Entertainment and GSI recently concluded design and product planning for Project Blueprint. Similar to Media Centre in our deliverables, GSI prepared a proof of concept by creating hundreds of mockups of screens that illustrate core functionality of the final proposed product. We work directly with internal stakeholders in a business analyst capacity to gather requirements and make sure our proposed solutions are on target for the audience.

Sony Pictures contracted GSI to design and build ODIN, a multi-sourced metadata brokering and publishing system. Included in our work was design, development, deployment and managing the successful hand-off of the application to internal Sony developers.
