I started working with AWS because I had so much data and I couldn’t process it efficiently using the on-premises IT systems we had. We were able to reduce data analysis from 10 days to just five hours using AWS. When I realized the power of working in the cloud, it encouraged me to kind of go beyond my sphere of biology and start finding people who work in other fields of expertise.

Even though it was a self-service contact center, we were blown away by the functionality that was available with Amazon Connect and how simple it was to change voice scripts and to add users, among other features. The team didn’t need any specialized skills or additional training, making it a breeze to onboard.

By using Amazon Chime, Amazon Connect, and Amazon WorkSpaces, when people come up with ideas, we can finally say ‘yes’. We can scale the AWS solutions we’re using in new ways and be more reactive during and after a disaster.

When we talk about population-scale datasets, where genomic data sequencing might be accessible to every child, there's a physical limitation to handling that kind of database. You need to apply an economy of scale, and building on AWS helps us perform now and scale for the future.
