Gooii are proud to announce we’ve once again been selected as one of the BBC’s preferred suppliers. The British Broadcasting Corporation’s Digital Services Framework IV will run until 2022. It’s also one we’ve been on for many years, since producing the Blue Peter appeal website many years ago #BlastFromThePast.
We’ve been selected in a number categories, which very much builds on our strengths. We’re particularly excited to be selected for our Emerging Technologies and Mobile App Development work.
Gooii will be providing our expertise in the following categories:
Here we impressed the BBC with our work on the NETGO ticketing and Passaggi music apps. We also presented our in-house skills to develop natively for iOS and Android, as well as our cross-platform development systems. In addition, we highlighted our integration with backend systems, as well as our testing methodologies and how we address accessibility.
We invest heavily in R&D, with multiple coders working full time with Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality. We estimate more than 25% of all profits are invested in R&D, in addition to the purchase of new hardware. To demonstrate our work with AR and VR, we presented the BBC with the Jisc Magic Leap App, Swim England and our continuing work on Sherwood 5G Connected Forest.
For backend development we demonstrated our work on the Nottingham Contactless website and the NETGO app. In recent years we’ve moved to cloud infrastructures to develop many of our backend services. The tools within allow enormous flexibility to build upon. We can also take advantage of their secure, flexible and scalable hosting. In addition, we can add new services and products as required by each project, safe in the knowledge that the systems can adapt to sudden increases in usage with guaranteed 99.5% uptimes. The cloud platforms we use are also PCI compliant, which is of huge importance to our customers.
Gooii have a wide range of hosting options available, from traditional to scalable cloud hosting like AWS and Google Cloud Platform. We select the best solution based on the needs of the project. This includes procuring reseller services and setting up dedicated servers as well as Virtual Private Servers, which can be easily upgraded or downgraded based on project demands.
