In April 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, while frontline workers were under immense pressure, three experienced live event professionals wanted to thank all of the UK’s National Health Service (NHS) workers and paid care workers. They combined their extensive experience and knowledge to launch the not-for-profit charity Concerts for Carers, whose mission is to promote the mental health and well-being of all NHS workers and paid caregivers and to provide them with free tickets to live events in the UK as an ongoing gesture of thanks. This post highlights how they’ve used Amazon Web Services to meet their mission.

A flexible architecture is a crucial factor in unlocking the full potential of generative artificial intelligence (AI) solutions. In this post, we cover an Amazon Web Services (AWS) Cloud infrastructure with a modular architecture that enables you to explore and take advantage of the benefits from different open source foundation models in a flexible way. This solution provides several benefits.

Healthcare organizations worldwide are leveraging Amazon Web Services (AWS) and partner solutions to modernize, transform, and innovate their businesses. Ensuring the availability and security of critical applications is paramount. For example, two renowned German medical facilities, Fachklinikum Mainschleife and Max Grundig Klinik, needed to modernize their IT infrastructure to comply with stringent regulatory requirements outlined in the country’s Law for Accelerating the Digitalization of Healthcare (DigiG). Reliable and compliant service offerings from AWS enabled the medical facilities to provide reliable access to essential systems.

In alignment with Singapore’s ambitious sustainability objectives, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) of Singapore is intensifying its efforts to spur the adoption of electric vehicles. This contributes to the nation’s goal of achieving 100 percent cleaner energy vehicles by 2040, and the effort leverages Amazon Web Services (AWS). LTA has set up EV-Electric Charging Pte Ltd (EVe) to manage the deployment of up to 12,000 electric vehicle (EV) charging points distributed across 2,000 Housing Development Board (HDB) carparks.

The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) wants to build and modernize a global weather framework with WMO Information Systems (WIS) 2.0 to enable and democratize unified access to critical, up-to-date weather data across the world. The WIS 2.0 system and the global cache provide a single point of access to improve the speed and accuracy with which forecasts can be generated while decreasing the time and capital requirements. This post describes the value of a global weather cache as well as the design and architecture for building the WIS 2.0 global weather cache on Amazon Web Services (AWS).

In March 2021, Amazon Web Services (AWS) launched the Think Big for Small Business (TBSB) Program, which provides partners with access to financial incentives and additional visibility with customers and the AWS team.

In this post, we explore the pivotal role that the TBSB program plays in accelerating the growth of small business partners that serve public sector customers.

Within the Food and Drug Administration’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, the Division of Medication Error Prevention and Analysis (DMEPA) plays a critical role. DMEPA reviews premarket and postmarket drug labeling to minimize the risk of medication errors. In partnership with DMEPA, Amazon Web Services (AWS) Partner ICF is developing a machine learning (ML) prototype known as the Computerized Labeling Assessment Tool (CLAT). The prototype employs innovative applications of optical character recognition (OCR) technology and the novel use of computer vision techniques that will alleviate bottlenecks in and enhance the efficiency of the drug labeling review process.

Renaissance Learning is a global leader in the pre-K–12 education technology (EdTech) space.
