The Problem
The Navy was moving their streaming video media from a windows solution into the Adobe Flash platform. They wanted to create a dynamic solution to serve the content using XML, but had limited experience creating XML and RSS feeds. They had the in-house talent to handle the design and development, but needed the ability to consult with expert coders for the effort.
The Solution
Mindgrub consultants provided insight and training to the Navy's developers on how, why and what was needed to make the XML solution work. Mindgrub provided hands-on coding on site, and provided distance support for the effort. They also served as a sounding board to validate the concepts and ideas behind the various players that make up the system. The system now services millions of visitors who view the dynamic video available to the general public at www.navy.mil
The Results
On October 1, 2007, the U.S. Navy successfully launched the redesigned navy.mil website showcasing many of the media players Mindgrub collaborated on. The MRSS feeds are easily searched and indexed by search engines, creating increased traffic to the website.
