Recent Projects
BigPond Games Consolidation
Mammoth recently undertook the massive task of consolidating three different sites - built with significantly different technologies - into a single site which encompassed all of the functionality. This undertaking was done on an extraordinarily tight timetable and involved working closely with the business and design in order to satisfy a large number of requirements. The project was delivered on time and has been performing solidly, generating a lot of positive feedback from the user base.

BigPond Music
Mammoth Media recently redeveloped the BigPond Music site, a project that took over 8 months to complete from start to finish. BigPond Music was relocated from Singapore to Australia in the process and rebuilt completely with a new interface and data model. Mammoth Media was required to work closely with many different Telstra divisions to ensure that all parts of the Telstra infrastructure were in place to support the newly developed site. The new site is designed to be single point fault tolerant, and makes use of AJAX and other current technologies.
BigPond Weather
Mammoth Media developed BigPond Weather in just over 2 months in 2006. The goal was to develop a ambitious "Web 2.0" site without the use of Flash requiring zero maintenance. A sophisticated auto-update mechanism built with a variety of components built in C++ and C#/.NET ingest XML data from a variety of sources to populate the site with data and ensure it is reliably kept up-to-date with the latest weather information.
Xtra Games
Telecom New Zealand came to Mammoth Media to provision a full online game solution for their broadband service. Mammoth Media's solution for Telecom New Zealand's Xtra MSN® brand consisted of our core product suite: the COGS® Game Client, the Triumph Content and Community Management System, and GameCreate®. Mammoth software and services is now behind New Zealand's largest collection of game servers. Mammoth worked closely with several teams within Xtra MSN, in conjunction with EDS, and took on operational management of the environment in addition to providing community and content management throughout the Xtra Games website.
BigPond Games Shop
Games Shop was the latest in a series of digital download technologies integrated into the BigPond Games solution by Mammoth. Games Shop allows users to purchase the latest AAA PC games and download them directly and securely to their home. Games Shop was a project that took 9 months from inception to completion, and Mammoth spearheaded the design and development in all stages, being responsible for the feasibility study for BigPond and ultimately recommending the DRM solution that was used for the service. Mammoth also assisted with defining the business goals and authored the entire Solution Definition documentation for the project.
Mammoth Media are responsible for managing all aspects of Games Shop service, including handling encryption of titles provided by publishers so they can be sold on the service.
