Robust development process in Video Streaming projects
Problem
The media streaming area is one of the most dynamic: competencies are getting outdated, technologies are developing quickly. That is why the industry seeks narrow expertise and developers with versatile qualifications.
Benefits
We form and dedicate our expert teams to targeted tasks as soon as the clients need that. That measure saves 30-50% of the costs. The average volume of these activities can result in 2000-3000 hours. Clients save around $20 000-30 000 on average.
Our solution
Education
At least 15% of the working time all our developers spend on training and professional growth without exception.
Expertise
Due to our business model's specific nature, we continuously face tasks and challenges from different technological areas. That has allowed us to accumulate in-depth experience, which we are always ready to share with our clients and partners.
Knowledge
Working with us, clients get access not only to the core team but also to the knowledge base accumulated by Promwad over the years.
Why Promwad

It's up to you to choose any single detail of your future solution. We suggest only the best ways to deliver, analyze, and monetize your platforms
The protection of the platforms' content and STBs is our priority. We implement the latest standards and features into your solutions
We build effective relations with technological vendors
Problem
Vendors seek support and engineers on the local market. Besides, they struggle while promoting their products and accepting adequate feedback; hence, it is challenging to eliminate bugs and deliver high-quality SDKs.
Benefits
Through a comprehensive approach and a well-established development & management process, we can reduce time and labor costs on projects that require vendors' solutions integration by 7-12% of the market average. With an average volume of $500 000-700 000, this 7% can save customers $50 000 and more.
Our solution
Experience
We integrate various vendors' solutions into our customers' products, so we often see bottlenecks or undetected benefits that add value to our interaction with vendors.
Support
Not being a manufacturer, but rather a user or even a consumer, we can form real and honest feedback on performance, usability, and quality of this or that solution.
