How the University of Minnesota Athletics built a unified data layer to drive fan engagement with AWS
The University of Minnesota Athletics Department had access to a lot of data, but lacked a way to bring it together. Even answering simple questions, like how many tickets were sold and who received them, required hours of cross-platform data wrangling. In less than a year, the department replaced that complexity with a scalable data lake built on AWS. The new data architecture—which gives the department full visibility into ticketing transactions and digital behavior—was built by a small internal team, without requiring a complete overhaul of their existing systems.
Create a multicloud FinOps dashboard with Amazon QuickSight using AWS services
In this post, we use AWS Glue, Amazon Athena, and Amazon QuickSight to build a dashboard that tracks costs associated with AWS and third-party providers. This single pane of glass allows for quick monitoring at the senior leadership level, with the ability to dig further into specific spending categories for tools and environments. Additionally, this data system makes further analytics possible.
Navigating financial turbulence: How Mid-Hudson Valley Federal Credit Union used AWS AI/ML to enhance forecasting and decision-making
Mid-Hudson Valley Federal Credit Union (MHVFCU) needed to automate their tools and develop advanced forecasting capabilities to make informed decisions for deposit management and growth to maximize benefit for their members. For this purpose, MHVFCU leadership sought a solution that would not only save time in data preparation and analysis but also provide accurate forecasts for balances across four key deposit products: savings, checking, certificate deposits (CDs), and money market.

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 Amazon 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.

Strengthen foundation model queries through Amazon Bedrock-Amazon 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, Amazon Web Services (AWS) has developed a solution through Amazon 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.
Operationalizing SAS on AWS with the American College of Radiology
The American College of Radiology (ACR) is a nonprofit organization and world leader supporting the radiology community. Founded in 1923, ACR represents more than 41,000 diagnostic and interventional radiologists, radiation oncologists, nuclear medicine physicians, and medical physicists. In this post, we share how ACR implemented a Statistical Analysis System (SAS) solution on Amazon Web Services (AWS) to accomplish their big data processing and analysis needs, resulting in better cost optimization, performance improvements, and improved scalability.
Stop Soldier Suicide partners with Pariveda, AWS on mission to reduce suicide rates among US service members and veterans
Because more than two-thirds of service members who die by suicide have no history of mental illness or suicidal ideation, Stop Soldier Suicide (SSS) started the Black Box Project in partnership with Amazon Web Services (AWS) Professional Services. Launched as an early prototype to identify data from devices of those lost to suicide, the project is an effort to gain better insight into the warning signs of suicide in veterans to help support suicide postvention, intervention, and ultimately prevention.
