Overview

In today's digital landscape, churches and religious organizations rely heavily on visual content to engage their communities. Tithely recognized the need for a streamlined media management solution and partnered with Buildonline to develop Media—a centralized platform designed to simplify the storage, access, and distribution of images and videos.

The Challenge

Managing media files across multiple platforms often results in inefficiencies, security risks, and difficulties in collaboration. Tithely sought a solution that would:

  • Provide secure, organization-specific storage spaces.
  • Allow users to edit images without relying on third-party tools.
  • Optimize media assets for fast loading and seamless integration across Tithely's ecosystem.
  • Enable interoperability with external workflows through a flexible and scalable architecture.

The Solution

Buildonline developed Media, a robust content management system that allows organizations to upload, store, and manage media files effortlessly. The solution included a built-in image editor, enabling users to make quick modifications without leaving the platform. One of the standout achievements was the development of a distributable NPM script, which seamlessly integrates Media with existing Tithely products, ensuring smooth interoperability across different applications.

Key Technical Achievements

  • Amazon Rekognition Integration: Implemented AI-driven automatic tag extraction for streamlined media organization.
  • Media Optimization: Enhanced image and video processing for improved performance and faster load times.
  • Built-in Image Editing: Developed an intuitive editor for basic modifications without external dependencies.
  • Unified Authentication: Integrated Google authentication and authentication bridges to ensure seamless user access across Tithely products.

The Results

The implementation of Media transformed how churches and organizations manage their visual content. By providing a secure, scalable, and integrated media management experience, Tithely successfully enhanced content accessibility, streamlined workflows, and improved user efficiency.
