Tools & Automation

The mainstay of Automation efforts has been an in-house developed automation and managed tool named OARM

(OnMobile Automation and Release Management). Till last year, the main focus of OARM has been release management. We have achieved a rollout coverage of 90% via OARM, significantly reducing the time and effort required for patch rollouts, security updates and system upgrades. This year, we have expanded the scope of OARM to automate and assist, testing, issue resolution, configuration & provisioning.

We have also rolled out an automated Integration Testing (IT) suite on top of OARM backbone. This automated test suite will save the time and effort in integration testing of our billing platform and consequently help fast track the go-live of many business-critical products. of the Company

The discovered vulnerabilities are automatically categorized by their severity and fed back to the engineering and QA teams for fixing and rollout as per the defined SLA.

Our efforts towards automation and tools have yielded positive results in terms of reducing turnaround time, increasing productivity, and improving the quality of our software releases.

We will continue to focus on automation and tools to achieve operational efficiency and maintain the highest standards information security.

Github Copilot has often helped suggest code snippets, functions, and classes, making the development process more efficient and faster. However, we also issues, which we expect will be corrected by the tool in the coming quarters as the technology matures.

As part of our ongoing experiment, we will monitor the impact of the technology on our software development process and assess its potential for wider adoption across our organization. It may be noted that such tools are aimed at increasing the productivity of developers and not at replacing them.

ONMO Streaming Games Network

Over the past year, social e-sports cloud gaming platform,

ONMO has continued to mature and deepen. Behind the streaming game capabilities lies a powerful network of servers that span the globe. Each of these servers has the ability to stream many simultaneous games, powered by a standardized architecture that can run on bare metal servers or in a cloud backed by modern GPUs that take advantage of all the graphics capabilities required to play the world's best mobile titles. This network of servers is orchestrated by a real-time monitoring system that gives us the ability to track and optimize user activity, and connect players with the fastest available server in real-time. Behind the scenes, we have also developed an automated testing system that constantly evaluates different scenarios of bandwidth, latency and network jitter in order to detect potential issues that players might encounter and adapt to optimize the experience. In addition to our global servers, we have begun working directly with our telco partners to install servers directly within their networks. This provides the ultimate speed advantage to users on their network, and gives a second to none gaming experience. Together, these capabilities add up to one of the most powerful cloud gaming platforms on the planet.

ONMO Multi-Tenant Platform

In order to bring the gaming experience to our telco partners and their subscribers, the ONMO game platform has been evolving to make it easier, faster and more efficient to add new partners and scale to meet the increasing gaming traffic. To this end, ONMO has developed a multi-tenant solution that allows using a single set of cloud resources to support many different tenants at the same time. This new structure allows us to maximize the efficiency while maintaining complete independence between the client's data and reporting. And grouping tenants by region allows us to take advantage of the best possible network speed available to the players by telco. Bringing all of our clients to a single multi-region, multi-tenant platform also allows us to bring together our gaming communities in interesting ways. For example, it becomes possible to allow users from different tenants to compete against one another in battles and competitions. This creates interesting possibilities for marketing initiatives, outreach campaigns, etc, and it allows us to continue to fulfill our mission of connecting players around the world through our gaming platform.

ONMO Core Gaming Experience

Our Product Development team has been working hard over the past months to make the core ONMO platform even more engaging and compelling. Over the next year we will be adding many new features for players that "gamify" the portal itself.

These enhancements include collecting experience points and "levelling up" your status; adding avatars and collectibles; adding a second currency (e.g. gems) for purchasing items in the digital store; improved invites and deep-linking; and many other enhancements. All of these new features will enhance the

"stickiness" of our platform, and will encourage players to return more frequently and invite other players to visit and sign up.
