Case Study Deluxe Technicolor

Deluxe Technicolor is a video distribution company that lets theaters request and receive encrypted movie data for official public viewing. In 2018, deluxe technicolor needed to streamline and modernize their technology to increase usability, security, and hopefully save them significant time and money wasted on their outdated process.


Providing Movie Content Since 1915

Deluxe Technicolor needed to minimize oversight on their distribution services after a company merger, and they knew the Kahoa team could leverage trusted technologies to scale their success. They wanted a platform that would make it easier for theaters to request and safely receive the specific protected decryption keys for any movie they were showing.

The platform also needed a user-specific design so theater employees (their main customers) could access all of the tools Deluxe Technicolor provided and make the movie experience more streamlined, accessible, and intuitive. With so many moving pieces to manage during this project, our first goal was understanding how Deluxe Technicolor’s process worked through a SolutionMap discovery workshop.

Kahoa facilitated a SolutionMap with Deluxe Technicolor decision makers to identify specific challenges and prioritize essential features for the application. Because of both Deluxe and Kahoa’s experience within their fields, our teams developed a true partnership to solve problems, make decisions, and create the best custom solution that addressed their business and user needs.

The Right Solution

It was a very large, technical project that required a lot of careful and deliberate steps. At its core, the platform had to be fast and capable of delivering massive amounts of data on a regular basis. Our expert developers and project managers made sure the app was adaptable and robust throughout its life cycle.

The software Kahoa built solved Deluxe Technicolor’s issues with digital encryption, key distribution, accessibility, and more. In addition to the agreed-upon deliverables, we included a white-label version to be sold as a service to their clients. This version allowed their customers to integrate custom branding material into the application. 

Deluxe Technicolor came to Kahoa because our expertise aligned with their software needs. The partnership was ultimately a success because Deluxe knew their data and the needs of their clients. Together, we were able to design, develop, and deliver a product that was ready for further updates and would add value to Deluxe Technicolor’s operations for years to come.
