How Simform achieved the DCX competency
The AWS DCX competency is a significant milestone for us. This is because it enables Simform to demonstrate our expertise in providing customer-centric digital solutions using AWS services.
AWS has an elaborate process for assessing partners who want to get the DCX competency.
All potential DCX participants must fulfill a series of requirements mandated by AWS. The AWS evaluation team conducts the following assessments:
- The Amazon partner solution architects evaluate the technical documentation related to the case studies submitted by the DCX participant.
- Review of the potential partner’s AWS architecture, its configuration, and whether security best practices have been followed in the project.
- A review of the exact features and functionalities provided in the solution.
These evaluations make sure that a given solution’s architecture, deployment, dependability, security, infrastructure scaling mechanisms, and operational processes are adequate to function according to the client’s expectations.
Amazon ensures that the potential partners have extensive AWS knowledge and offer the best AWS solutions according to the needs of the project while granting the certification. As a part of the review process, Simform submitted 4 case studies to prove its expertise in providing DCX solutions to its clients. Here is a brief overview of the case studies that we submitted.

Solutions
- Simform provided detailed analytics by integrating mParticle, a customer data platform, and analyzing the user data to boost conversion rates.
- Simform helped the client achieve high scalability by building a stable and scalable system using Amazon Web Services. To achieve this, Simform suggested an ECS EC2-based containerized managed service and a load balancer configuration to ensure zero downtime during live auctions and events.

An on-field monitoring app for an audiovisual client
Our client is a North American giant in terms of audiovisual and conferencing solutions. The company wanted us to build a digital solution that allowed it to monitor and streamline the activities of its on-field sales and service staff.
Challenges
- The process of tracking the activities of field technicians was inefficient as it was a manual, paper-based one.
- Needed a highly Scalable and reliable system.
- Wanted email bounce reports.
Solutions
- Our system eliminated communication errors between the admins and the field workers and helped field workers report instantly without wasting time on paperwork. The data loss and duplicate entries were eliminated, and the workflow was automated.
- We designed a modern tech stack based on AWS services. In addition, the system had a highly scalable architecture design. This was done to ensure that the system did not break down during excessive workloads.
- The client wanted detailed email bounce reports. So our engineering team built an innovative integrated system consisting of AWS LAMBDA, AWS SNS, and AWS SQS to generate the email bounce reports. This also increased debugging visibility for developers, allowing them to know if there were any errors in uploading files.
Key results
- Response time reduced by 90%.
- Built an efficient system that resulted in 60-80% of time savings.
- Built a robust architecture that could resist spikes in traffic.
- 18+ organizations around the United States are using the platform.
A complete digital solution for buying cars and their accessories
The client, a North American company dealing in cars and their accessories, already had an online solution that enabled its customers to buy cars and car accessories. The problem, however, was that the system was not coherent with the modern-day demands of the customers.
Challenges
- Checking the eligible customers for upgrades and generating deals for them.
- Displaying suitable trades to upgrade their current vehicles.
- Displaying proper finance amounts and calculations.
- The client wanted a trade recommendation service for trades in second-hand cars.
- For security and compliance purposes, clients wanted to audit each and every incoming request that comes into their network.
- The client wanted to ensure the database is compliant with data protection policies to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements.
Solutions
- To check the eligible customers for upgrades and to generate the best deals for them, we run ETL jobs on AWS Lambda with DynamoDB as a database service.
- The client wanted that the users who wished to upgrade their current vehicles should be shown the best trades. We used offerlogix to display the offers and Amazon RDS to store the data.
- We use the AWS Lambda function to calculate the finance amount and return the calculations.
- We used AWS lambda, which analyzed the data and returned recommendations.
- We built a monitoring system to monitor every incoming request using Amazon VPC cloud, network firewall, and VPC flow log. For mitigating application layer attacks, we used a web application firewall.
- For the database, we have used Amazon Aurora and AWS backup service to ensure data protection compliance is followed.
Key results
- 12% more accounts created
- 10% increase in leads
- 3% increase in conversion rate

- The client wanted a stable system.
- Build a highly secure system.
Solutions
- Using AWS cloud-based tools, we developed seamless user experiences across all applications.
- We used an application load balancer to deliver a stable system. In the case of multiple requests from different users worldwide, the application load balancer distributes traffic across various targets, such as EC2 instances of ECS containers in multiple availability zones.
- We used the Lambda@Edge Security Headers to add a security layer when content is displayed using CloudFront from an S3 bucket. For example, several users will book parking spots from various places using the app, posing a significant security concern.
