All Technologies Used
Motivation
The customer sought to create the largest online auction marketplace in the US for distressed property transactions. The goal was to streamline the process of managing vast amounts of documents and data related to each property, ensuring that critical information was delivered to the correct audience. Azati's solution was designed to automate and optimize content management while integrating with various third-party technologies.
Main Challenges
The project required coordination between various vendors to ensure the smooth development and integration of multiple modules. Azati played a key role in aligning these efforts and enhancing the overall development process.
The customer needed to secure sensitive PDF files, ensuring only authorized access. Azati implemented the Content Security Policy (CSP) and integrated Vitrium and SpringCM technologies to overlay data security and encryption.
The solution required the integration of multiple third-party modules, including document processing, sorting, and email handling systems. Azati developed custom plugins and modules to enrich the platform with additional features and capabilities.
Managing and organizing large volumes of documents and data required an efficient system for categorizing and scoring auction properties. Azati implemented a robust ECM/WCMS system to automatically group documents, score auction listings, and structure data for online display.
