Case Study

eZWay Network – Multi-Media Service Platform as a Software (PaaS)

eZWay Network is an exclusive community-driven promotional platform that offers a suite of tools to help users grow their businesses. Initially, the client relied on a WordPress-based membership system, but it was slow and inefficient. To address this, we restructured and developed independent platforms and tools while maintaining a seamless membership and CMS experience aligned with the client’s vision. The result is a robust, high-performance multi-platform software solution.

Overview

The eZWay Digital Ecosystem is a comprehensive suite of platforms, tools, and services designed to empower content creators, businesses, and influencers. By integrating membership systems, promotional tools, analytics, and multiple platform control tools, eZWay provides a seamless digital experience for users looking to expand their reach and monetization potential.

One software ecosystem comprises 8 platforms (websites with different domains) and 13 distinct tools, each operating on a separate domain while sharing the same user base. This means that when someone registers with the eZWay Network, they gain seamless access to all platforms and tools according to their membership tier.

Platforms & Tools Overview

The eZWay Network is designed as a seamlessly integrated ecosystem, where multiple platforms work together efficiently. To optimize performance, some sites connect directly to the network using multiple database connections instead of relying solely on REST APIs, significantly reducing latency. Additionally, for real-time communication in specific features, we have implemented Node.js to ensure instant data synchronization and responsiveness.

Wall of Fame & eZWayi (User Profile and Account):

The profile system is built on a dedicated database, allowing seamless data sharing across all network-wide platforms. This ensures that user information remains consistent and accessible without any redundancy. As shown in the image below, both the eZWay Wall of Fame and eZWayi platforms pull data from the same centralized source. The eZWay Network serves as the ultimate control center, giving users a unified experience across all connected services.

 

Blogging (eZWayi Blog):

The eZWay Wall of Fame blog has been a core feature since the platform’s inception. As we refined the system architecture, we chose to integrate the blog within the Wall of Fame while centralizing its administration in the eZWay Network. This approach ensures seamless management and accessibility across platforms. The blog system offers a full suite of features, allowing users to create, share, promote, and track the performance of their posts through detailed analytics.

 

Podcast (eZWay Podcast):

The client required a dedicated platform exclusively for podcasts, enabling users to create and manage their own podcast pages. This platform provides powerful tools for promotion, audience engagement, and monetization. We developed a comprehensive podcast management system that allows users to post updates, share content, promote their pages, and track performance through detailed analytics. Additionally, the platform includes features for live broadcasting, subscription management, and integrated email marketing tools to keep subscribers informed with automated updates.

 

Events (eZWay Events):

The client needed a dedicated platform for event hosting, allowing users to publish events, sell tickets, promote, and monetize them. To ensure strong SEO capabilities, we built the platform using WordPress while developing a fully custom theme that seamlessly integrates with the network. This setup provides flexibility, scalability, and a user-friendly experience.

 

Images (eZWay Images):

The client envisioned a dedicated platform where users could showcase event and business photo albums. To fulfill this need, we developed a comprehensive photo album management system that allows users to publish, share, promote, and track engagement through detailed analytics. To ensure scalability and optimal performance, we implemented S3 object storage for image hosting, reducing server load and enhancing speed while providing a seamless user experience.

 

eZWayi (Social Media):

We built eZWayi using the Wowonder script as a foundation, leveraging its timeline and user profiling features while replacing the rest with our custom system. This allows seamless communication within the network. The platform is fully integrated with our advertising and monetization system, as well as connected to other platforms. Users can message each other, explore content, and access pages from various linked platforms—all in one place.

 

eZWayi (Mobile Apps):

We developed the eZWayi mobile apps using Flutter, starting with a web-view-based MVP to gauge user interactions and gather feedback on their needs. This approach allowed us to rapidly develop and deploy new features without the delays of app store submissions. Gradually, we integrated native functionalities such as push notifications and deep linking, progressively replacing web-view components with fully native pages to enhance performance and user experience.

 

Pay Per View Software (eZWay TV):

We developed a dedicated tool for eZWay TV to host online live events with an advanced streaming system. It seamlessly integrates with the eZWay network’s user database and invoicing system for ticketing. The platform utilizes RTMP for live streaming, WebSockets for real-time interactive commenting, and an embedding feature to showcase recorded shows. This ensures a smooth and engaging experience for both event hosts and viewers.

 

Scalability

The eZWay Network is a vast and rapidly growing digital ecosystem, integrating multiple platforms and advanced tools to provide a seamless experience for users. Due to its scale and complexity, it is impossible to cover every feature in a single case study. The system is designed for continuous expansion, with new features and enhancements being added regularly to keep up with evolving user needs and industry trends. As eZWay scales, it remains committed to innovation, ensuring that users always have access to the latest technology and tools for content creation, promotion, and monetization.

Results & Impact

The eZWay Digital Ecosystem has enabled thousands of businesses, influencers, and event organizers to streamline their online presence, monetize their content, and grow their audience efficiently. With its integrated tools and platforms, users have experienced significant improvements in audience engagement, revenue generation, and brand visibility.
