Business Challenge

The GameStore platform is the client’s online digital distribution platform for games. The Client wanted an upgraded version of the existing platform with new add-on features that enabled merchandising, marketing, deployment and operations with reliable tools to perform the daily tasks of site management.

 
Cognizant Solution

We undertook the responsibility for the end-to-end execution of the project from assessing the existing business process, solution conceptualization, re-architecture of existing platform, development and testing and development of deployment tools for business users.
