Abstract
At the heart of the BBC is delivering value to all, serving audiences across the UK and the world on TV, radio, and online with trusted and impartial news and high-quality British content. This means creating services which are highly visible, always-on, and resilient in an environment which never stops and where there's no tolerance for downtime or compromise. We'll look at the architecture the BBC employs to fulfil its obligations and secure its brand, consider how these might apply across other industry and spaces, and share some stories from the Nation's biggest broadcaster.
