7fivefive Expands Strategic Partnership With BBC Studios

7fivefive, a leader in media systems innovation and integration, is enabling the BBC Studios Global Media & Streaming team to scale its virtual infrastructure. As part of this collaboration, 7fivefive is delivering the remote editing backbone that supports post-production and content-based workflows. To help realise the global media company’s cloud-first vision, 7fivefive is also working in tandem with Amazon Web Services (AWS), the selected cloud provider.
The partnership between 7fivefive and BBC Studios has guided digital transformation which began in 2020. 7fivefive’s cloud expertise now underpins the Global Media & Streaming teams’ post-production process, enabling creative teams to manage resources efficiently whilst collaborating across different time zones. Throughout the project 7fivefive has provided strategic consultation, designing and implementing solutions that maximise responsiveness and reduce overheads.
As the media industry shifts to the cloud, BBC Studios has already embraced a framework that ensures the speed, flexibility, and cost effectiveness of its post-production operations over the long-term.
The system is designed to dynamically scale active resources, with automated controls that enhance productivity. Virtual workstations can be provisioned and optimised based on real-time requirements, empowering users to self-serve without compromising on performance. Different teams receive customised resources that are best suited to specific creative tasks, across editing, graphics, colour grading, compliance, and branding.
The latest phase of the project harnesses the capabilities of Adobe and AWS within a unified cloud environment. Regional departments can seamlessly transition between projects, access secure content from anywhere, manage allocation, and act on data-driven insights. Predictive cost metrics and automated budget management are based on detailed analytics. This ensures that business objectives are met without compromising on creative quality or operational goals.
