Seven West Media is one of Australia's leading media companies, owning and operating a diverse range of media assets across television, digital, and publishing platforms. With iconic brands like Channel 7, 7plus, and Pacific Magazines, Seven West Media delivers engaging content to millions of Australians daily. The company's commitment to innovation and audience-centric strategies has positioned it as a major player in the Australian media landscape.
Seven's recent launch of Phoenix, a groundbreaking total TV trading system, marks a significant leap in the media industry. As the lead integration solution architect, I was instrumental in designing the application integration platform that powers this innovative solution.
My decades of experience in software engineering and integration middleware, coupled with the robust capabilities of AWS Serverless technologies, were pivotal in building a scalable, cost-effective, and reliable platform.
The Power of AWS Serverless
AWS Serverless technologies offered a compelling solution for Phoenix. By eliminating the need for traditional server management, we achieved:
- Scalability: The platform can effortlessly adapt to fluctuating workloads, ensuring optimal performance during peak periods.
- Cost-Efficiency: We only pay for the compute resources consumed, optimizing costs.
- Rapid Development: Serverless functions enable rapid development and deployment cycles.
My contributions to the project were multifaceted:
- Architecture Design: I architected the integration platform, leveraging AWS Serverless components like Lambda, API Gateway, EventBridge and SQS to create a robust and flexible solution.
- Integration Strategy: I defined the integration strategy, ensuring seamless communication between various systems and services.
- Technical Leadership: I led the technical team, guiding the implementation and addressing technical challenges.
By combining my deep understanding of integration patterns and AWS Serverless best practices, I was able to deliver a platform that empowers Seven to revolutionize their media trading operations.
The Future of TV Trading
Phoenix represents a significant step forward in the TV trading industry. By embracing innovative technologies and experienced leadership, we have created a platform that will drive efficiency, transparency, and growth for years to come.
I am excited to see how Phoenix continues to evolve and shape the future of TV advertising.
