Enhancing Security and Accessibility through AWS for a Leading Non-Profit

The client is one of India’s largest and oldest non-profit philanthropic organizations, this institution has long stood as a pillar of inclusive development. With a legacy of driving social change across education, healthcare, culture, and rural upliftment, its operations span the length and breadth of India.

The Challenge: Chasing Control Across Chaos

As the client continued to scale its philanthropic footprint across India, its internal IT ecosystem struggled to keep pace. With users operating from multiple remote and regional locations, maintaining uniformity in user profiles became a significant challenge. The client’s IT team was constantly grappling with fragmented data and siloed systems, making profile management cumbersome and error-prone.

Each user operated separate applications and maintained individual accounts for email, communication, and work-related platforms. This lack of integration not only introduced inefficiencies but also delayed support from the client’s IT department.

Additionally, the client heavily relied on SaaS-based applications such as HRMS and Prism, which operated without a centralized authentication mechanism. Users, spread across the country, needed a secure yet simplified way to connect with the client’s corporate systems and business applications.

It became evident that without a scalable, secure, and unified IT environment, the client’s ability to deliver on its mission could be hindered by growing digital complexity and operational inefficiencies.

The Solution: Future-Ready Framework

To overcome it’s growing IT and security challenges, the client partnered with Datamatics to embark on a strategic digital transformation—centered around AWS Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS). The primary goal was to enhance the corporate user experience and provide secure, seamless authentication for both internal users and external stakeholders.

As part of the initiative, Datamatics architected a unified platform where all existing, future, and third-party applications—including critical platforms like Oracle Financials and HRMS—were integrated under a Single Sign-On (SSO) framework. This not only streamlined user access but also significantly reduced the administrative overhead associated with managing multiple credentials.

With long-term scalability in mind, Datamatics deployed a simple yet flexible AWS architecture, to enable proactive monitoring and real-time visibility into the AWS environment, AWS CloudTrail and AWS CloudWatch were implemented. These services provided deep insights into security logs and operational events, allowing the client’s IT team to track user activity, detect anomalies, and respond swiftly to any threats or disruptions.

By integrating AWS-native tools with a unified access model, the client gained a robust, scalable, and secure infrastructure—laying the groundwork for an efficient and digitally resilient future.
