Phoenix7
Almost 20 years ago, a group of media IT professionals saw the opportunity to create a new solution for the industry.
Our ethos was to keep things simple, flexible and pragmatic to meet the needs of a fast-changing sector that would face constant challenges on all fronts.
Our vision was to create a platform that was more robust, more agile, more efficient and with better functionality than any previous solution.
-
Robust
The solution has been written as one integrated system from the ground up, rather than acquiring bolt-ons to extend functionality; this provides the security of industry-leading uptime and built-in fail-safes.
-
Efficient
The solution has been designed by seasoned media professionals, with an in-depth understanding of key performance levers and best practices, giving you fast response times, leading functionality and high efficiency.
-
Agile
Our centralized technology gives you the fastest deployment in the industry and RAD development capability means an end to constant implementation delays.
-
Scalable
Processing times remain industry-leading in even the most complex installations, cross-platform environment, across multiple languages and geographies, with a proven solution for hundreds of concurrent users and dozens of channels, anywhere.
This solution is now used on 5 continents and is regarded by some of the world's leading media organisations as the cornerstone of their operational effectiveness and strategic agility.
