Aramex moves all technology infrastructure to AWS

Aramex will migrate all of its technology infrastructure from the company’s on-premises data centres to Amazon Web Services (AWS), in order to increase agility, speed of innovation, and security. “Adopting AWS is pivotal to driving further innovation within our business and provides a platform for growth within Aramex. We are focused on enhancing the customer experience and solving industry challenges primarily around address management, volatility in volumes and last mile capacity,” said Mohammed Sleeq, chief digital officer at Aramex. In its first phase of cloud adoption, Aramex has built a data lake, which is hosting a big data infrastructure that leverages machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities to further enhance the customer experience by transforming the last mile delivery. Taking advantage of Amazon SageMaker, a fully managed machine learning service for building, training, and deploying machine learning models, Aramex’s in-house data science team built a data analytics and machine-learning platform on AWS.
