Getting Started with Amazon Enterprise Applications AWS enterprise applications deliver managed, secure desktop and productivity capabilities run in the AWS cloud. Amazon WorkSpaces allows customers to easily provision cloud-based desktops that allow end users to securely access the documents, applications, and resources they need with the device of their choice. Amazon WorkMail is a secure and managed business email and calendaring service that gives users the ability to seamlessly access their email, contacts, and calendars while allowing IT to maintain control over encryption and location of data. The speakers dive into Amazon WorkDocs, a fully managed and secure enterprise storage and sharing service with strong administrative controls and feedback capabilities. In this session, we explore each of these services, explain how your organization can benefit from them, and also provide a brief demo to show how they work together. Speaker: Herman Coomans, Solutions Architect, Amazon Web Services
