SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Today, #amazon Web Services, Inc. (AWS), an #amazon.com, Inc. company (NASDAQ: AMZN), announced that #sunlife (TSX: SLF) (NYSE: SLF) has selected AWS as its long-term strategic #cloud #technology provider to become a cloud-first organization, drive ongoing innovation, and develop new digital client experiences. #sunlife will use AWS’s proven portfolio of #cloud technologies, including analytics, machine learning, storage, security, and databases, to drive operational efficiency and innovation to the company’s clients and employees.

Through its relationship with AWS, #sunlife became the first company in Canada to launch an immersive #cloud skills training program, which is now available to #sunlife employees. Dubbed “Catalysts for Cloud” and using the AWS Skills Guild, a comprehensive skills enablement program to build #cloud fluency, the initiative focuses on attracting and developing top talent. The program brings together Sun Life’s #cloud experts alongside AWS instructors to offer peer-to-peer learning and hands-on training to build #cloud skills across the organization. Over the next few months, #sunlife will certify the first 450 #business and technical employees with this AWS program and will continue to train more employees to help expedite #cloud adoption and develop new client-facing and internal capabilities.

As part of its move to accelerate digital transformation and deliver new client experiences using the #cloud, #sunlife built development workspaces in North America and innovation labs in Asia to bring together IT teams and #business leaders to innovate with AWS technologies. In Asia, for example, one of the labs created the Sun Life

Secure Experience, which enables #sunlife advisors to collaborate with clients virtually using video conferencing and secure file sharing. The new offering uses #amazon Elastic Compute #cloud (Amazon EC2) and #amazon Route 53 (AWS’s #cloud Domain Name System web service) to provide a reliable and cost- effective way for clients and advisors to connect remotely to view and discuss financial documents. The #sunlife Secure Experience also uses #amazon SageMaker, which is AWS’s service that enables data scientists and developers to build, train, and deploy machine learning models quickly in the #cloud and at the edge.
