Amazon Web Services (AWS)

Amazon Web Services (AWS) is on a mission to accelerate the digital transformation of education in partnership with the full education community. Over 14,000 education institutions—from primary and secondary schools through higher education and ed-techs—use AWS cloud to provide flexible, affordable technology solutions that support their core mission and deliver on strategic institutional priorities. Whether you’re looking to streamline IT operations, support online learning, keep student information safe, or connect student data, AWS cloud computing services can help. 

AWS powered innovation helps schools remove legacy systems, improve security, and modernise faster. Better student and teacher experiences, easier hybrid learning, accelerated research, and seamless back-office functions are just some of the differences you’ll make on the AWS Cloud.
