European Commission transforms public procurement across Europe with AWS and NTT Data
To address fragmentation challenges, the European Commission launched the Public Procurement Data Space (PPDS), a pioneering initiative to consolidate, harmonize, and facilitate access to public procurement data across the European Union (EU). Amazon Web Services (AWS) and AWS Partner NTT DATA have been selected to implement this project, and you can read this post to learn more.
New AI/ML solutions in AWS GovCloud (US) underpin responsible innovation
How can technology leaders rapidly deliver responsible artificial intelligence-based innovation while aligning with the broad spectrum of strict regulatory requirements? The answer is simple: Amazon Web Services (AWS) GovCloud (US) provides the technology that underpins a solid foundation for securely and compliantly building and deploying AI capabilities.

How federal agencies can optimize document processing using advanced AI with human oversight
Federal agencies typically collect, manage, use, and distribute a wide array of documents. Storing and distributing federal agency documents is often a complicated process; documents can range from structured formats to free-flowing documentation with personal identifiable information (PII) that needs careful redaction. And because federal agencies cover a wide breadth of domains, it is challenging to develop a one-size-fits-all approach for document processing. In this post, we explore an example of how a federal agency can use Amazon Web Services (AWS) to design and deploy a solution that addresses this document processing challenge.
Microservices-based tax and labor systems using AWS
In Modernizing tax systems with AWS, we briefly touched upon infrastructure and application modernization using microservices and serverless architectures. We hear from multiple tax and labor agencies about their desire to move to API-based architectures and adopt new technologies. In this post, we dive deeper into these areas and discuss benefits, approaches, and best practices for building modern tax and unemployment insurance (UI) applications using microservices.
University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire NHS Trust digitizes and improves patient experience with AWS
Like many healthcare providers, University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire (UHCW) NHS Trust, which manages two major hospitals and serves a population of more than one million, has operated with legacy technology that relies heavily on phone calls and manual processes for contacting patients. Recognizing an opportunity to modernize, the Trust linked up with IBM Consulting for an innovative pilot project to digitize patient engagement channels using Amazon Web Services (AWS).

Improving constituent experience using AWS-powered generative AI chatbots
Generative artificial intelligence (AI) can transform the experience of state and local government constituents. With Amazon Lex, you can design and build sophisticated voice and text conversational interfaces, deploy omnichannel experiences with pre-built integrations to contact center solutions, and pay only for speech and text requests with no upfront costs or minimum fees. This post provides a technical walkthrough for building a generative AI chat-based solution.
Building a secure and low-code bioinformatics workbench on AWS HealthOmics
Singapore General Hospital (SGH), SingHealth Office of Academic Informatics (OAI), and Amazon Web Services (AWS) collaborated to develop a cost-effective, scalable cloud infrastructure that enables researchers to perform their own analyses on a centrally secured and compliant cloud platform. AWS HealthOmics offers a suite of services that help bioinformaticians, researchers, and scientists to store, query, analyze, and generate insights from genomic and other biological data. Read this post to learn more about the three primary components of HealthOmics used in the solution.
Mitigating inadvertent IPv6 prefix advertisement with AWS automation
As federal agencies migrate to the Trusted Internet Connections (TIC) 3.0 framework, they will use Amazon Web Services (AWS) to exit to the internet, bypassing the TIC network. This transition requires agencies to plan and coordinate migration activities to verify seamless IPv6 connectivity. Agencies need to coordinate advertising their IPv6 prefixes with AWS, using mechanisms like Bring your own IP addresses (BYOIP). The migration process could involve changes in routing policies, firewall rules, and security controls to accommodate the IPv6 prefix changes. Read this post to learn more.
4 ways AWS can help states transform healthcare for incarcerated individuals
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) recently enabled states to extend Medicaid coverage to eligible incarcerated individuals, with hopes of ensuring continuity of care upon release, reducing the risk of relapse, and encouraging better health management. To help states begin benefitting from this new CMS policy, Amazon Web Services (AWS) offers a suite of data storage, telehealth, analytics, and reentry services. In this post, we break down four specific areas where AWS services—and AWS Partners—can help.
The AWS approach to accelerating innovation and procurement with state agencies
Despite a common misconception about government, state agencies regularly innovate on behalf of their constituents. In this post, Amazon Web Services (AWS) experts share examples of innovation from New Mexico and North Carolina. We also provide tips for accelerating procurement and maintaining visibility over rapidly implemented workloads.
