Challenge
SimTutor required a platform built from the ground-up, but as a startup they needed to be able to continually refine requirements as they learned more about their customers . We therefore used Agile to deliver functionality over a number of sprints and releases, taking on user and market feedback along the way.
Insight
From the start, SimTutor were focused on delivering their application via a browser, without using plugins. Therefore users needed to be able to create content (including video), view simulations, and conduct site wide reporting - all within the browser, and without needing the permission or assistance of IT.
Solution
With an emphasis on video manipulation, along with a rich editing and user experience, we chose EmberJS for the front end, helping to deliver fluid interactions and performance under load. EmberJS also utilised server side rendering to enable in-browser video editing. The highly scalable platform delivers content directly into the browser, with no need for additional software or plugins.
Pattern is more than a development shop. They're commercially minded, astute and flexible.
