Imagen Ltd, announces Dallas-based Gateway Church now has an online content library, which is live and operational. The partnership has seen the two organizations enter into a yearlong contract, with Imagen installing a 1TB system that is likely to grow with additional content.
The new system allows for an online library of content, holding more than 30 years of teachings from renowned pastor Dr. Jack Hayford. The platform was designed to provide a working legacy, initially housing audio and associated written content, but with the availability to also store video footage as their uploads continue.
Imagen offers an out-of-the-box archive solution that can be further customized to suit its clients' requirements. In the case of Gateway Church, Imagen has provided a fully-managed web-based subscription platform, including an additional CPU to help with the potential demand of extra users. A built-in subscription and donation model has been designed to ensure the system is financially self-sustaining.
Brett Huckins, Executive Director of Technology at Gateway says, “After taking a thorough look into the sort of solution we needed, it was obvious the answer for us was through a custom web development company. Imagen's out of the box solution was perfect for us as it provided the flexibility for the library to grow. It also cut down costs significantly compared to a third party building a custom system from scratch.”
Tom Blake, CEO of Imagen adds, “By working with Imagen, Gateway has the security of a platform which is built upon widely recognized open source technologies and used by many leading organizations worldwide. We are immensely proud of what we have been able to achieve for Gateway and look forward to further serving them as their library grows.”
Gateway Church is in the top 25 fastest growing churches in the country. Since it began in 2000, this multi-campus church in the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex has grown to more than 36,000 active members. Robert Morris is the Founding Senior Pastor and is featured on the weekly television program The Blessed Life and serves as chairman of the board of The King's University.
