To attain AWS Data and Analytics Competency, Simform underwent a thorough assessment to meet AWS’s stringent standards. As part of this evaluation, Simform presented four case studies illustrating how we helped our clients optimize the data processing, data governance practices, and regulatory adherence of their crucial workloads using AWS data and analytics solutions.

Here’s a summary of our successful projects:

#1. A marketing analytics platform for auto dealership

Simform assisted a client in crafting a marketing automation and data analytics platform for over 1000 auto dealerships. It included developing a dynamic dashboard for comprehensive insights, a real-time KPI analytics engine for global dealerships, and system integrations with CRMs like HubSpot and Salesforce.

• Our team utilized AWS Glue to improve data collection, transformation, and loading.
• Employed AWS Lambda to sync 1 million daily data entries seamlessly.
• Enabled insightful data querying with the help of NLP in Tableau.
• Facilitated real-time synchronization of customer data between CRM and dealerships.
• Leveraged Amazon RDS to optimize data processes with AWS Glue.

By employing these AWS data analytics services, we achieved impressive results:

• Synchronization of more than 1 million data daily
• 28% increase in lead conversion
• 82% increase in operational efficiency
• 34% reduction in time to closure

#2. An AI-driven data analytics platform

Simform assisted a client in creating an AI-driven data analytics platform. The platform facilitates scalable brand marketing through robust data infrastructure. However, challenges included centralizing data from multiple sources, slow development cycles, and a need for standardized cost-tracking processes. Migration of several services to new infrastructure was also pending.

• Our developers utilized AWS MSK to consolidate data into a centralized streaming pipeline, capturing real-time data for loading into an S3 data lake.
• Amazon MQ facilitated data ingestion from different sources into a centralized repository.
• AWS EKS simplified the data analytics platform’s deployment and scaling.
• AWS S3 stored static content, ML models, and datasets in a cost-optimized manner with tagging for cost monitoring.

With the help of these AWS services, we achieved the following results:

#3. A comprehensive marketing analytics platform

Simform helped a client develop a platform that provides marketing and customer analytics for eCommerce retailers. The client’s cloud infrastructure, hosted by DigitalOcean, struggled with managing increasing data volumes. Lack of redundancy and failover mechanisms posed risks of downtime and data loss. Slow query execution and data retrieval impacted user experience. The system lacked standardized interfaces, hindering data exchange. It also didn’t meet security standards, exposing data to potential breaches.

• Our team implemented robust data governance policies using Amazon S3 as the central data lake.
• Enforced access control for authorized users and created automated data analytics pipelines for ingestion, transformation, and analysis.
• Implemented encryption mechanisms using AWS KMS and IAM access controls to protect sensitive data.
