IMImobile, a digital media solutions provider, has helped develop an iPad app for Sky News Arabia.
The Hyderabad-based IMImobile and Sky News Arabia’s content management and editorial teams worked together to launch the app recently.
The app allows the news organisation to free up internal resource to focus on core business tasks and reduce cost.
The app delivers Arabic-language breaking news videos and articles by geographical region or category, said IMImobile, which provides digital solutions to telecom operators, media companies and enterprises.
Tablet interface
The custom-built tablet interface displays a rotating photo wall carousel, allowing users to select live-streaming news videos in a 3D environment.
News stories are automatically uploaded to the app via an open API to ensure that users have seamless access on the move to breaking news as it happens.
“Our approach to app development has given the team at Sky News Arabia confidence in our ability to deliver and has subsequently engaged us to provide its forthcoming Android tablet products,’’ said Mr Steve Godman, Commercial Director, Brands and Media at IMImobile.
