Real results delivered with AWS

Scaling HR processes with AWS

Challenge

EQUANS needed to replace a failing legacy SLAM portal that managed critical HR processes including onboarding, changes, and leavers for over 13,500 employees. The system faced major operational risk due to dependency on deprecated Microsoft SharePoint features.

Solution

We designed and delivered a scalable, cloud-native solution on AWS using a microservices architecture and event-driven workflows. Built in partnership with HR, IT, and compliance stakeholders, the system leverages services like AWS Step Functions, Lambda, Cognito, and DynamoDB to orchestrate real-time approvals, automation, and reporting.

FAQs

Your AWS consultation or Well-Architected Review.

What happens in a free AWS consultation?

You’ll have a 30-minute call with one of our certified AWS consultants. We’ll explore your current cloud goals, challenges, and AWS environment. You'll leave with tailored, actionable insights. No pressure, no sales pitch.

Is the Well-Architected Review free?

No, it’s a structured, paid service delivered by our AWS-certified team. We assess your workloads against the five AWS Well-Architected pillars and provide a prioritised improvement plan to reduce risk and optimise cost. Unlike the basic WAF programmes some partners offer, our review includes in-depth discovery, collaborative working sessions, and tailored recommendations that reflect your architecture, goals, and constraints.

Do I need to already be using AWS to work with you?

Not at all. We work with clients at all stages, from first-time migrations to complex, multi-account AWS environments. Whether you’re starting fresh or scaling up, we can help. In fact, many of our clients are using a mix of cloud providers. We often support hybrid and multi-cloud strategies, helping organisations get the best out of AWS while working alongside existing infrastructure or platforms like Azure or GCP.

How quickly can we get started?

We aim to book consultations within 1–2 working days. For project engagements or reviews, it depends on scope and availability.
