The Challenge

The SaaS-based workflow management application captured and let users access recordings of legal proceedings. Courts, jurisdictions, private firms, and individuals could avail their digital transcription services and track the progress of all transcripts, including appeals, more effectively.

Rendering the back and forth of heavy text and multimedia files posed a major challenge given the client's business model extensively revolves around providing frictionless user experience.

Solution

The proposed solution involved building a prototype and rolling it out.
Solving with Amazon S3

Offering industry-leading scalability, data availability, security, and performance Amazon S3 was a unanimous choice to manage a large volume of files without worrying about capacity constraints.

With S3, the client was able to add any number of files to the application, without worrying about capacity constraints. Since S3 would handle file processing without burdening the application layer, the application became lighter and delivered a better user experience.

Bringing in dynamic spacing, it allowed the client to scale up or down space usage as and when required. With no minimum usage requirements and availability of on-demand usage, S3 proved to be a highly cost-effective solution for the client.

As a result of going all-in into the AWS Cloud, the client reduced costs by 40% and increased operational performance by 30-40%

The Business Benefits

  • 40% reduction in cost of total ownership
  • Dynamic storage and pay-as-you-go pricing enabled the client to leverage a highly cost-effective cloud-storage solution
  • The application could now efficiently manage a huge volume of files, and make them accessible anytime, anywhere for its customers.
