Stuttgart(13 Sep 2018)

3 Screen Solutions (3SS), - IBC 2018 – Hall 15 15.MS13/15.MS14 - a leading provider of customized software solutions and services for multiscreen digital entertainment, today announced being selected by Arqiva to develop a fully bespoke highly functional customer portal, Arqiva InSite, which enables Arqiva’s customers to derive maximum value from its network and services.

“We turned to 3SS due to their growing reputation for delivering highly functional interfaces that empower the user, and for their world class software engineering,” said Vibeke Nicholas-Gjesdal, Head of Customer Experience at Arqiva, market leading UK-based communications infrastructure provider and media company.

“We had a clear idea about the data and capabilities we wanted to deliver to Arqiva customers, and we trusted the expertise of the 3SS team to spearhead exactly how the platform would work, how usability could be optimised, and for the design and interfaces,” she added.

3SS captured all of Arqiva’s functional goals and implemented Arqiva InSite in a very agile way, in close collaboration and workflow alignment with Arqiva.

3SS designed and developed Arqiva InSite as a completely bespoke solution based on 3PRIME, the all-in premium solution from 3SS comprising initial consulting and requirements capture, custom design and development, architecture and engineering.  Arqiva InSite enables customers to easily see data on platforms and products from right across the Arqiva business as well as enabling them to access relevant third-party information, all in one place.

It mines and curates data from across the global Arqiva resource base and presents it all in a way that maximizes relevance and understanding for the user. Expandable and flexible, Arqiva InSite uses local knowledge and resources to quickly define and deliver information-rich data feeds while providing a single user interface featuring a unified look and feel. 

Arqiva InSite gives clients access to their scheduled assets, and they can also learn about any potential issue in advance, enabling them to adjust transmission plans in time for broadcast. Meanwhile, the “Client Management” area enables Arqiva employees to access and manage clients’ services, and offer continuous support.

With the help of 3SS, Arqiva InSite’s user-friendly dashboards, schedules and asset status reports keep all Arqiva customers up to date on key performance and availability metrics, 24/7. It also informs users of Arqiva’s cross-portfolio capabilities and offerings.

“We have an abiding commitment to deliver the very best services and round-the-clock support to our customers across the globe: By launching Arqiva InSite, we are adding value and supporting them even better,” Gjesdal added.

Kai-Christian Borchers, 3SS Managing Director, said, “We are proud that a global leader like Arqiva came to us with their requirement for a new highly usable customer portal, and we are glad to be helping Arqiva deliver extra value to customers.”
