Connected Experiences

Provide your customers with a connected, frictionless journey, whether that’s through an airport, at a hotel or resort, or elsewhere.

Customers expect a seamless, connected experience—whether that means within a physical space or connecting various pieces of information together into one holistic, frictionless view.
With a connected experience, companies can easily communicate relevant updates and information to customers at the right time, across any channel or touchpoint. Using AWS’s broad and deep Internet of Things (IoT) offerings, companies are able to digitize and illuminate the offline world, connecting previously isolated or standalone devices into a virtual and connected ecosystem. Businesses are building on AWS to integrate a wide variety of digital services to offer customers and guests a multichannel, connected experience.
