Government & Public Services on AWS

Deloitte Solutions for Government & Public Services on AWS

Faster solutions, improved user experiences, and more efficient agency oversight.

Government, education, and nonprofit organisations face unique challenges, including the need to accomplish complex missions with limited resources. Cloud computing enables public sector organisations to concentrate on those missions, not on their IT infrastructure.

The AWS cloud provides a broad set of infrastructure services, such as computing power, storage options, networking, and databases. Our dedicated teams are focused on helping public sector organisations – from healthcare and nonprofits to education and defence – of all sizes use AWS to innovate and make the world a better place through technology.

Why AWS?

AWS understands that government agencies must balance economy and agility with security, compliance, and reliability.

Federal agencies choose AWS because it offers a complete platform that meets strict security and compliance standards across all classification levels. This makes it possible to execute missions with a common set of tools, a constant flow of the latest technology, and the flexibility to rapidly scale with the mission. State and local governments use the agile and economical AWS cloud infrastructure for citizen services, justice and public safety, transportation, health, and more.

In the education sector, AWS helps institutions personalise student-learning experiences, access applications anytime from anywhere, and improve learning outcomes. Tens of thousands of nonprofits and nongovernmental organisations worldwide use AWS to increase their impact and advance mission goals by improving the performance of donor-facing websites, enhancing data practises through managed databases and analytics, propelling research through machine learning, and improving remote monitoring with the Internet of Things (IoT).

  • Strict security and compliance standards
  • Execute missions with a common set of tools
  • Constant flow of the latest technology
  • Rapidly scale with the mission

AWS provides a global cloud infrastructure that enables you to quickly innovate, experiment, and iterate. Instead of waiting weeks or months for hardware, you can deploy new applications, scale up as your workload grows, and scale down based on demand – instantly.

The AWS platform isn’t tied to any language or operating system. You choose the development platform or programming model that makes the most sense for your mission. You also decide which services to use and how to use them. You can even build hybrid IT architectures that extend your on-premises infrastructure with tools such as VMware and AWS Outposts.

Cost savings

AWS offers low pricing, with no upfront expenses or long-term commitments – you only pay for what you use. With our efficiencies of scale and experience, we’ve reduced prices more than 70 times since AWS launched in 2006. And the pay-as-you-go model lets you scale up and down as operations and traffic fluctuate, so you can manage your technology costs to suit your needs.

Security

The AWS cloud platform has built-in security capabilities to satisfy the most demanding information security requirements. Broad security certification and accreditation, data encryption at rest and in transit, hardware security modules, and strong physical security all contribute to a more secure way to manage your organization’s IT infrastructure.

  • To address Michigan’s urgent need in response to COVID-19, the Contact Tracing platform was implemented from design to go live in seven days. The platform uses AWS Connect and Pinpoint services to allow users to monitor contacts manually and automatically and provide resources and guidance during the monitoring period. The Contact Tracing application has seen exceptional success throughout the entire state, with 76 counties, including local health departments (LHDs), using the solution to monitor contacts in their jurisdiction. More than 1,100 volunteer tracers and LHD staff have been onboarded to the system, and more than 42 thousand contacts have been monitored so far since going live.
  • When a customer faced a unique, high-volume challenge related to the national health crisis, Deloitte designed, developed, and deployed an integrated platform capable of scaling to distribute 30 million emails and SMSs. The platform is made up of an AWS environment using Amazon Simple Email Service (SES), Simple Notification Service (SNS), and Simple Queue Service (SQS), as well as native capabilities such as Lambda, and it is connected through MuleSoft middleware to a Salesforce platform. Salesforce triggers the distribution of targeted emails and texts. Deloitte engineers and operators worked through myriad compliance, transaction volume, and peak-hour scenarios to deliver the platform’s required functionality on time and according to budget. Future releases are planned to address scenarios that could address volume 5 to 10 times that of the initial release.

The Centres for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) ported more than five years of records from 50 states – totalling 72 terabytes of data – to the AWS cloud. Then they used the more than 74 million Medicaid records and other data stored with AWS to crack down on waste, fraud, and abuse, and deliver other insights that had never before been realised.
