Our work
We work with BAFTA’s teams to develop and test new features, continuously adding sophisticated additions to our range of products. We also fulfil bespoke development requests from external clients.
Just some of the headline features added last year:
One of the most significant projects in 2024 was a technical overhaul of data-saving processes for concurrent users accessing the same entry form, ensuring a responsive and efficient multi-user experience.
Integrating natural language processing (NLP) into Nucleus enhanced data validation by using machine learning to assess textual responses against admin-defined benchmarks.
We enhanced Nucleus’s multilingual capabilities by enabling administrators to input translations directly, ensuring native-level quality beyond AI-generated outputs.
Multi-factor authentication has been released for admins accessing the BAFTA Events Admin interface, along with a new ‘Disable Date’ feature to manage temporary staff access.
