Le défi

En quoi consistait notre travail ?

RTÉ runs a high volume of competitions and audience engagement initiatives across live shows, seasonal events, magazine brands, and ad hoc campaigns. Many of these are live broadcasts, where timing, accuracy, and reliability are critical. RTÉ needed a robust solution that could:

  • Process large volumes of entries and premium votes
  • Perform flawlessly during live broadcasts
  • Enable fast, transparent and compliant winner selection
  • Support real-time audience interaction via text-to-studio

From weekly flagship shows to one-off national events, RTÉ required a partner it could trust in high-pressure live environments.
