Bahrain Kuwait Insurance Company (BKIC) diversified its sales channels to offer embedded insurance to its partners using Amazon Web Services (AWS). Its existing API product was inefficient and slow, so BKIC worked with AWS Partner Zero&One to build a middleware layer to manage its APIs, resulting in a 66 percent increase in speed and 98 percent reduction in API size. Using API Gateway, AWS Lambda, and AWS Control Tower, BKIC cut costs and improved the performance and efficiency of its embedded insurance platform.

Archway Software, a technology solution provider for regional and local banks, spun off from WaFd Bank’s (Washington Federal) innovation lab after it used Mendix to build out its online banking and contact center portal in just 10 months. WaFd saw the potential for its Mendix products to help other banks deliver on innovation and founded Archway. As a low-code development platform that runs on Amazon Web Services (AWS), Mendix allowed WaFd to create a portal without incurring significant technical debt. Today, Archway helps banks get up and running with online portals four times faster than traditional providers thanks to Mendix and AWS.
