The Finstream Platform
The Finstream clients have worked closely with our team at Xtrastaff to build a completely unique and bespoke platform to serve interactive content for CPA’s and Masters of Finance students across the globe. The platform is a completely self managed interactive content platform that provides facilities for the owners to build out complex interactive course materials that include dynamic integrated tables and graphs, structured course content, pop quizzes and certificates on completion – it is a comprehensive project that is easy to use and powerful.
Finstream aims to expand your finance knowledge as a professional and provides learning modules, refresher courses for corporates and now provides users with cerificates upon completion of course work. We recommend checking out the platform and the video introduction on the website for more as it is a really interesting product and service.
The Challenges
At inception the team looked to see if competition existed and found that no product could satisfy the use case presented by the client. There were no reference points so it required a bespoke platform. One core requirement was to allow complex finance equations, graphs and content to be managed on the go. Users needed to be able to create, modify, enrich and publish content in a logical course structure at the time there is nothing doing what Finstream does.
Development
We worked initially on the basis of providing the course framework, along with customer facing user experiences, naturally this is supported by a stable and reliable stack. As we delivered core functionality with the Client the team iterated frequently to layer more functionality and enhance the product. This approach helped reduce the problem and provided incremental feedback loops, enabling the product to become what it has today.
Outcome & Delivery
The Client now has a platform that has the capacity to provide services to the Finance industry and beyond as it moves into a multi tenancy approach. We not only created the core technology to build a business but provided avenues for the future that service both the customer and their customers. The team are very proud of the achievements made.
