Booz Allen Hamilton accelerates mainframe migration with AWS
Many government agencies rely on critical applications running on legacy systems, which is highlighted in a 2023 report by the Government Accountability Office (GAO). These applications are typically monolithic, built on outdated technologies that necessitate workarounds, lack scalability, and incur escalating operational costs. The GAO report identified numerous federal IT legacy systems in urgent need of modernization. To address these challenges, Booz Allen Hamilton, an AWS Partner, offers innovative solutions using multi-tenant architectures. This post delves into one such mission-critical application developed for a large-scale federal agency, showcasing how modern cloud technologies can transform legacy government systems.

Leverage generative AI for biocuration using Amazon Bedrock and Amazon Nova foundation models
Personalized therapy for diseases such as cancer utilizes an individual’s unique genomic profile to guide treatment decisions. However, the effect and clinical significance of most genetic variants are uncertain. Accurate classification of the clinical significance of novel genetic variants requires extensive curation of peer-reviewed biomedical literature. In recent years, generative AI has demonstrated promising results in information extraction and text summarization. In this post, we explore how various AWS-native solutions can be used to create a secure, retrieval-augmented, and cost-effective biomedical chatbot designed to facilitate biocuration.
