AWS Partner Veza Helps the City of Las Vegas Secure Data in a Hybrid, Multi-cloud Environment

The mission of the United States Navy Reserve is to provide strategic depth and deliver operational capabilities to the Navy and Marine Corps team and Joint forces in times of peace or war. Warfighting readiness is the top priority for the Navy Reserve and is achieved through continuous training of Reservists in their wartime roles; by constantly improving mass-mobilization processes and procedures; and by ensuring the timely dissemination of accurate information. In support of this mission, the Navy Reserve turned its focus to generative AI technologies and worked with AWS Partner CACI to build a mobile Q&A chatbot to provide Reservists with greater access to, and targeted search capabilities within, important policies and guidelines.

In concert with AWS, CACI built the Navy Reserve's chatbot in four months, relying on AWS services including Amazon Kendra and Amazon SageMaker to reduce development time. The chatbot aids Reservists in accessing critical information quickly and more easily empowering them and reducing the need for support calls to their command.

Stop Soldier Suicide is a nonprofit organization striving to solve the issue of suicide among US veterans and service members. Because it wanted to understand its data better to gain new insights, the organization worked with AWS Partner Pariveda to implement the Suicide Intelligence Platform (SIP), which ingests forensic device data, integrates it with health cloud data, and stores it in an AWS-based data lake. Using the SIP solution, Stop Soldier Suicide can ingest and enrich data from multiple sources to better predict the risk of veteran suicide and help clinicians mitigate that risk. As a result, Stop Soldier Suicide can support its mission of reducing the military suicide rate by 40 percent by 2030.

The city of Long Beach, California, worked with AWS Smart City Competency Partner Opendatasoft to quickly design an open data portal for residents and employees.

Now, Long Beach is sharing more than 930,000 records through the portal in an easily accessible format. By making this data publicly available, the city can better engage with its staff, residents, and elected officials.
