Singlife cuts costs by $4m yearly with AWS integration

At least 70% of its staff earned at least one AWS certification.

Singapore-based Singlife said it finished its cloud migration by moving more than 90% of its computational processes to the cloud with Amazon Web Services (AWS).

The insurer said it is the first insurer in the country to be fully on the cloud, cutting expenses by $3.7m (S$5m) per year.

Through this shift, the insurer aims to better anticipate customer needs to generate future financial products and experiences.

“Singlife uses Amazon Relational Database Service, Amazon Aurora (AWS’s fully managed MySQL and PostgreSQL-compatible relational database built for the cloud) to develop and bring new products to market quicker,” the company said in a press release.

Singlife said over 70% of its workforce and technical leaders are equipped with at least one AWS certification.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
