Launched in 2006, Amazon Web Services (AWS) began exposing key infrastructure services to businesses in the form of web services -- now widely known as cloud computing. The ultimate benefit of cloud computing, and AWS, is the ability to leverage a new business model and turn capital infrastructure expenses into variable costs. Businesses no longer need to plan and procure servers and other IT resources weeks or months in advance. Using AWS, businesses can take advantage of Amazon's expertise and economies of scale to access resources when their business needs them, delivering results faster and at a lower cost.

Business transformation through digital modernization

Today’s businesses must adapt to rapidly changing market conditions, manage and derive insights from massive volumes of data, and meet the rising demands of today’s always-on customers. In short, they must modernize—rethinking processes and leveraging technology to seize opportunities earlier, achieve maximum value from their investments, and innovate faster than ever before. The impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic further drive these changes. Businesses across all industries must now move even faster to embrace new work styles and drive down costs. Recent research suggests that more than 90 percent of enterprises are accelerating cloud adoption plans because of COVID-19.1 Many organizations are instituting digital transformation initiatives in response to these growing pressures. By embracing new ways of building applications and services, these organizations can connect previously siloed data, streamline processes, and accelerate innovation in ways that delight their customers. Digital transformation promises substantial rewards, with leading companies achieving critical business advantages such as higher productivity, faster time to market, and a stronger bottom line. Reaching these rewards can prove challenging, however. Digital transformation represents a massive undertaking involving far-reaching changes to technology, processes, and culture. Breaking the process down into distinct phases can help prevent organizations from losing their way.

8 essential, data-driven solution areas for leaders

Data is at the center of every application, process, and business decision—it’s the fuel for innovation and business growth. Advanced analytics, machine learning (ML), artificial intelligence (AI), and now generative AI have put a renewed emphasis on extracting value from data. But harnessing the value of your data isn’t easy. Managing diverse use cases, data types, and evolving needs requires more than a single database, data lake, warehouse, or business intelligence service. It requires thinking holistically and understanding how to make your data work together so you can put it to work for your organization. We encourage you to look first at the problem area you want to address and the outcomes you want to achieve. From there, work backward to understand how you can use data and AI to drive results in the targeted area. The eight solution areas covered here offer prime opportunities to use your data to transform functions and capabilities across your organization.

Tackling our world’s hardest problems with machine learning

Machine learning (ML) has graduated from the realm of science fiction to become a core, transformative technology for organizations across industries and categories. The unique potential and power of ML are sparking significant innovation, powering the ideas that are improving lives and protecting our planet right now. With ML, organizations are making inroads toward protecting and supporting our veterans, finding homes for homeless people, understanding climate change, improving health outcomes, and more. But this is just the beginning. The technology is ripe, and it now has the ability to provide new and significant solutions for some of the world’s biggest challenges. More than a hundred thousand companies and organizations worldwide have turned to Amazon Web Services (AWS) for ML—to help track disease outbreaks worldwide, find new ways to treat cancer, and more. However, access to ML, a new technology to so many of these organizations, can often come with a skills and technology deficit. That’s where AWS steps in, partnering with innovators to bridge the gap and bring pioneering solutions that can help tackle our most urgent and important challenges.

Machine learning at scale

Machine learning (ML) has emerged as a core technology ingredient for organizations that are focused on driving innovation. Today, more than 100,000 organizations leverage artificial intelligence (AI) solutions and services from Amazon Web Services (AWS) to improve business results. These businesses span virtually every industry, including financial services, healthcare, media, professional sports, retail, and the industrial sector. The rapid emergence of generative AI is the most visible example of the impact ML innovations are having on the above industries. Generative AI applications have captured widespread attention because they can help reinvent customer experiences, create applications never seen before, and help users reach unprecedented levels of productivity. According to Goldman Sachs, generative AI could drive a 7 percent increase in global GDP over 10 years. Goldman Sachs also forecasted that AI investment could reach $200 billion by 2025 with the enormous economic potential from generative AI. Like most AI, generative AI is powered by very large ML models that are pretrained on vast amounts of data. These models are commonly referred to as foundation models (FMs). Amidst this growth, obstacles to widespread ML adoption remain. Many organizations, enticed by ML’s potential benefits, have grown frustrated by slow progress and a lack of return on their ML investments. For these organizations to reach their goals, they must find ways to move these large models into production faster and at a lower cost. In this eBook, we will explore the major barriers to ML scalability and success. Then, we will demonstrate how AWS solutions and services can help virtually any organization overcome those challenges and leverage generative AI to drive meaningful innovation.
