Redefining Sustainability: LXSS’s Green Media Revolution
At Radical Cloud Solutions, we believe that technology should not only drive efficiency but also empower positive change.
When we teamed up with Longcross South Studios (LXSS), a world-class media production studio in the UK spanning 180 acres, it was clear that their ambitions went beyond just creating stunning content. They wanted to lead the way in sustainable media production, and we couldn’t wait to help make that vision a reality.
The Challenge
LXSS’s sprawling campus includes eight state-of-the-art sound stages, 250,000 square feet of stage space, 265,000 square feet of backlots, offices, production facilities and even controllable roads. While their scale was impressive, they faced the dual challenge of coordinating workflows and communication across such a vast property, while also aligning their operations with increasingly demanding sustainability goals.
The complexity of their day-to-day operations demanded a robust, centralised digital platform that could streamline collaboration, improve communication and support smarter, faster decision-making.
LXSS needed more than just IT support, they needed a strategic partner who understood the value of scalable cloud infrastructure and intelligent tools.
Our Solution
Radical Cloud Solutions stepped in with a focus on integrating Google Workspace and Gemini into LXSS’s operations. These powerful platforms allowed LXSS to revolutionise their internal workflows.
Through Google Workspace, their teams could communicate seamlessly across departments and locations, collaborate on shared documents in real-time, and manage scheduling and production planning with new levels of efficiency.
With Gemini, we introduced intelligent automation into routine tasks such as resource allocation, meeting scheduling and even collaborative brainstorming. This freed up time and resources, allowing their teams to focus on what they do best, producing high-quality, world-class media content.
Our team provided ongoing support, custom training, and change management to ensure the transition to cloud-based operations was smooth and embraced across all departments. From production to administration, everyone was empowered with the tools and confidence to work smarter.
The Result
The transformation was immediate and meaningful.
With cloud-first collaboration tools and AI assistance in place, LXSS saw significant improvements in coordination, communication and project delivery timelines. Teams could now operate with agility, accessing information securely from anywhere on their property, or even offsite, using integrated cloud systems. The improved digital workflow also supported their sustainability goals by reducing reliance on paper-based processes and minimising unnecessary resource use.
Most importantly, LXSS emerged as a modern, tech-forward media company, one that not only produces exceptional content but does so with operational intelligence and environmental awareness.
“Radical Cloud Solutions has empowered us to combine operational efficiency with sustainability, reinforcing our leadership in media production while driving meaningful environmental change.” – Debbie Priestnall, Commercial Director, LXSS
