Earlier in 2024, Singlife completed its cloud migration to AWS by moving more than 90% of its computational processes.
As a result, Singlife is the first insurer in Singapore to be fully on cloud, enabling the firm to save S$5m in costs per year.
Furthermore, AWS and Singlife worked together during the migration to better guess customer needed in the development of its financial products and experiences. This means meeting consumer demand for real-time, reducing processing times, streamlining operations and reducing costs.
