Govplace helps NIH Office of Portfolio Analysis scale on demand and reduce research costs on AWS
As the primary agency of the US government responsible for biomedical and public health research, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) is one of the leading medical research centers in the world. The NIH Office of Portfolio Analysis (OPA) is tasked with helping NIH prioritize its research. OPA wanted to find a better way to optimize its cloud costs as its analytical research demands continued to grow. That need led OPA to work with AWS Partner Govplace, a systems integrator and solution provider for the public sector. Read this post to learn more about how OPA reduced research costs and scaled on demand.
Test and integrate ground segment with AWS Ground Station digital twin
HAQM Web Services (AWS) customers building software-defined ground segment solutions with the AWS Ground Station now have more confidence in their solution: they can integrate their DevOps practices with AWS Ground Station’s digital twin feature, which became generally available in August. The digital twin is useful for both aspiring and existing AWS Ground Station customers to achieve faster outcomes without applying for satellite licensing and more cost-effectively than scheduling a production satellite contact.

Securely running AI algorithms for 100,000 users on private data
This post explores the architectural design and security concepts employed by Radboud University Medical Center Nijmegen (Radboudumc) to build a secure artificial intelligence (AI) runtime environment on HAQM Web Services (AWS). Business leaders dealing with sensitive or regulated data will find this post invaluable because it demonstrates a proven approach to using the power of AI while maintaining strict data privacy and security standards.
Well-rounded technical architecture for a RAG implementation on AWS
In the age of generative artificial intelligence (AI), data isn’t just king—it’s the entire kingdom. Our previous blog post, Anduril unleashes the power of RAG with enterprise search chatbot Alfred on AWS, highlighted how Anduril Industries revolutionized enterprise search with Alfred, their innovative chat-based assistant powered by Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) architecture. In this post, we examine the technical intricacies that make this system possible.
Data ingress and egress through Trusted Research Environments and other secure enclaves
Data Review & Transfer Component (DRTC) on HAQM Web Services (AWS) provides a seamless solution to review, approve, and automate sensitive data transfer requests into and out of secure enclaves. In this post, we take you through the benefits of using DRTC to review data and other research artifacts for sensitivity prior to transfer into and out of these secure environments, in particular Trusted Research Environments (TREs).
Using AWS for EHDS: A technical guide to building a secure health data platform
In an earlier post, Build secure and scalable data platforms for the European Health Data Space (EHDS) with AWS, we discussed a reference architecture for building secure and scalable data platforms for secondary usage of health data in alignment with the European Health Data Space (EHDS) using HAQM Web Services (AWS). This follow-up post walks you through the technical implementation details for building such federated data governance and analysis platforms using AWS. Whether you are a healthcare organization, technology provider, or systems integrator, this post aims to equip you with the technical knowledge to build a secure data platform for secondary usage of health data in alignment with the EHDS Regulation.

Transforming government application systems using intelligent document processing on AWS
Government agencies handle vast volumes of bureaucratic documents daily, ranging from tax forms to medical records. This document-heavy workflow, often reliant on manual processing, can result in delays, errors, and increased operational inefficiencies, causing frustration among both employees and stakeholders. This post explores how intelligent document processing (IDP) solutions from HAQM Web Services (AWS) can modernize bureaucratic workflows, improve efficiency, and enhance service delivery within government agencies.
Rapidly develop fully functional web applications with AWS App Studio
AWS App Studio is a low-code development platform for users to build, deploy, and manage applications without extensive coding knowledge. It is designed to streamline the application development process, making it more accessible to a wider range of users, including business users, IT professionals, and startups that don’t have large specialized IT teams. This post guides you through the process of creating a user-friendly create, read, update, and delete (CRUD) application to efficiently manage birth certificate applications using AWS App Studio.
Strengthen foundation model queries through HAQM Bedrock-HAQM Alexa integration
Today, generative artificial intelligence (AI) is at the core of many of the decisions and technologies businesses across the globe are implementing. The linchpin to ensuring that generative AI is effective depends on the foundation models (FMs) storing the data. To make sure that those FMs are pulling the correct data, HAQM Web Services (AWS) has developed a solution through HAQM Bedrock to generate SQL to answer user questions about the data. The solution was developed to support the Federal Institute of São Paulo (IFSP) and has optimized their decision-making.
