A Smart Video Management Platform
The Task
Theorem was tasked to design a streamlined dashboard experience for SundaySky to view video content, data and important insights across customer programs. The dashboard would serve as the MVP and would be implemented in collaboration with SundaySky's development team.
The Features
An Account Dashboard that offers a high-level view of a SundaySky customer account and all of their SmartVideo programs.
Users enter the Program Dashboard where they can learn about targeted stories consisting of video scenes paired with unique customer data.
When two program stories are selected in the sub-navigation, an icon for a Side-by-Side Video Preview feature appears in the Program Dashboard. This feature offers a new UI where the user can compare story videos, along with their unique Preview Data and Scene Libraries.
Results
The launch of the MVP to SundaySky internal users enabled SundaySky to validate feature and function hypothesis. The SmartVideo Dashboards became an integral piece of their team's workflow when engaging with customers and explaining the value of their SmartVideo technology.
The MVP dashboards laid the groundwork for SundaySky's evolving team platform. The design system and framework gave their team the tools they needed to continue building features to integrate with the Personalized Video Marketing Cloud including scene editing capabilities to demo real-time customization of SmartVideos.
