Multi platform rich media app engine was a bit too clumsy for us to use, in actual fact it stresses all the aspects that make kaidoo:screen so widely usable and available. Originally, the technology was developed for the construction of rich media websites – by now its area of application has increased massively. The basic structures of the products have stayed the same and have demonstrated abilities in a wide range of products. A selection of the best practice examples illustrates the variety available within kaidoo:screen.

APA

Media Research Platform
Type: Desktop App

In an ecosystem that is characterized by the free availability of search and monitoring solutions, a fee-based media database must provide more than just a simple full text search - even if this database is Austria’s largest one. In order to provide the Top 500 and other companies of the country with information as a press snipping and content management platform, kalbeck.media creates a user-and value-oriented processing of data stocks for APA defacto. Usability and clarity are central and orientate on the user due to convenience features of processing search requests and visualizing data in real time. To get the optimal result with a minimum amount of effort. The visualization of data-intensive media monitoring and highly complex result analyses are ultimately effected by means of configurable graphs that target accuracy at its maximum.

The main objective of the project was to enhance the front end in order to ensure an existence for APA defacto as a research tool apart from being a mere search engine. Thus, the new desktop app facilitates the identification of certain press releases for an amount that is more than 100,000 search results by filtering and sorting more - targeted on the client-end. At the same time, freemium is established as a mode of revenue of the fee-based service and the full functionality with a limited data stock. This is done to demonstrate the potential of the application and convert trial users into actual subscribers.

Real Time trend analyses and reports are feasible even by inexperienced users and manage to qualify directly for being utilized as a presentation tool for PR and press offices within companies. This is mainly due to the exclusive and fully graphical result of visualization in real time.

Competitions with other users must save a maximum amount of energy, as it’s a conceptually important approach to strengthen ecological awareness in a playful way. .
