Customer quotes
Codoxo
Codoxo is advancing how healthcare payers detect fraud, waste, and abuse with AI at scale. Amazon Linux is a critical part of that foundation. When we identified an edge case in ec2-net-utils, the AWS team engaged immediately, working alongside us to resolve the issue and incorporate the fix back into Amazon Linux. That level of responsiveness and true partnership gives us confidence as we scale our platform to support more healthcare organizations and increasingly complex fraud challenges.”
