AWS Solution Provider Program

UK-based charity Lyra in Africa helps children in rural Tanzania attend and complete secondary school. Established in 2012, it has delivered 15 hostels for girls in rural government schools and provides an offline digital learning program to partner high schools, each with a computer lab with learning content preloaded on the computers. Lyra also works with two teacher training colleges to boost IT literacy among teachers. Until recently, the organization relied on service providers in the UK to collect donations from individual sponsors, but that was proving an expensive fundraising strategy. Lyra turned to AWS Partner Softcat to build a low-cost online donation platform on Amazon Web Services (AWS). The system has automated payment processing and recordkeeping that helps the charity automatically benefit from the UK government’s Gift Aid tax relief program.

The University of Bath in southwest England wanted to make better use of data to support decision making across the campus. It decided to build a system that used Wi-Fi and Internet of Things (IoT) data to better understand the occupancy of its teaching spaces. It wanted to make the data available in near real-time and in visual form to give it insights into estate management, building projects, and timetable strategy. The university turned to AWS Partner BJSS to help build the system on Amazon Web Services (AWS). The project proved that the university could accurately assess use of spaces in near real-time using anonymized, cleansed, and processed Wi-Fi data.

Baptist Memorial Health Care (BMHC) needed a more resilient disaster recovery posture to ensure uninterrupted care to 3 million patients in three states across the mid-South. Facing challenges with its on-premises data center, including limited scalability, high maintenance costs, and the risk of outages, BMHC partnered with AWS Partner Optimum Healthcare IT to migrate the health system’s full electronic health records system to AWS. The move resulted in enhanced disaster recovery capabilities, a 20% improvement in system performance, and lower total cost of ownership—all of which enhance the organization’s ability to deliver high-quality healthcare services across 22 hospitals and more than 200 clinics.
