Nielsen Builds Cloud-Native Data Reporting Platform on AWS
Nielsen built a new, cloud-native local television rating platform, increasing the amount of data Nielsen ingests, processes, and reports to its clients each day.
Nielsen is a global measurement and data analytics company, measuring what consumers watch and the advertising they’re exposed to. The company reached two significant milestones in 2019, according to Scott Brown, general manager of TV & Audio at Nielsen. First, Nielsen migrated its National Television Audience Measurement platform to Amazon Web Services (AWS). Then it built a new, cloud-native local television rating platform, "drastically increasing" the amount of data Nielsen ingests, processes, and reports to its clients each day, Brown says. To do so, the company built a data lake capable of storing 30 petabytes of data in
Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) and leveraging
Amazon Redshift,
AWS Lambda, and
Amazon EMR. According to Brown, this allowed Nielsen to grow from measuring 40,000 households daily to more than 30 million households each day.
Working with AWS and the services they provide allows us to do all of that at a much faster pace, with much greater velocity than we could have ever achieved before."

The White House Historical Association (WHHA) works to make history more accessible through its digitized archives and White House Experience Mobile App. Its three tour options include one for virtual visitors of the White House, another for people in Washington, DC who are exploring the surrounding White House neighborhood, and a third that serves as a companion tour for those visiting the White House in person. The White House Companion Tour features a room-by-room guide along with information about where visitors should meet for the tour. The mobile app will also include a "Presidential Look-Alike" feature, powered by Amazon Rekognition, through which users can take a selfie to find out which president or first lady they most resemble. WHHA President Stewart McLaurin describes how AWS supports that mission and these initiatives. By using the AWS Cloud, this smaller nonprofit can expand its reach across the globe.
