See how it’s done
Cutting costs and driving innovation
"The use of AWS enables us to deliver proofs of concepts more quickly, without the need for costly investment in permanent infrastructure. And, since team members don’t have to manage infrastructure, they can spend their time innovating and improving.”
Laurence Barker, Principal Platform/DevOps, Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA)
Automating processes using AI and ML
“This project has successfully shown how we can use artificial intelligence and machine learning and, more importantly, how we can strengthen that capability as we progress through our digital transformation. Using AWS, we can improve our processes and enhance how our employees work.”
Nick Davies, Senior Product Manager for Internal Digital Services, HM Land Registry
Communicating effectively with citizens
“Customers needed to check information, be certain branches were open and confirm the services they required were available. We needed a way to communicate more effectively. The power of AWS meant that we were able to deploy chat—from idea to done—in three weeks.”
Benjamin T. Cooke, Digital and Branch Engineering Director, UK Post Office
Countering security threats at scale
“Companies House needs to check uploaded files for viruses. With AWS Lambda, there are no management overheads. It scales automatically to the number of uploads. The service will save us time because all deployments are currently manual.”
Steve Bowen, Head of Platform Engineering, Companies House
