AWS / ERIN Case Study: How AWS and ERIN Are Revolutionizing Efficiency
November 22, 2024
When it comes to talking, ERIN’s a pro. As an internal referral app, we operate with nearly one hundred customers, all with millions of daily users across the globe. Whether it’s hiring, scheduling, or sending bonuses, ERIN has to keep tabs on all of it — that’s a lot of data, and a lot of computers talking to each other. Basically, it’s a conversation we can’t afford to mess up, and we knew we needed to expand. So, when we noticed our need to grow, we wanted to find someone to partner with who was an expert communicator. Enter Amazon Web Services, or AWS and SourceFuse.
AWS is the world’s most comprehensive and broadly adopted cloud. Like ERIN, AWS knows how to pair with millions of customers to be more agile, help lower costs, and innovate faster. Now that’s what we’re talking about.
AWS is no stranger to expansion, with their cloud spanning 108 Availability Zones in 34 geographic regions, and SourceFuse helps keep things secure and scalable. But it wasn’t just about facts and figures for us, we wanted to make sure that ERIN was still able to have that human touch when it came offering our services and communicating with clients. For us, it was all about making ERIN faster, stronger, and ready to handle whatever comes next — and AWS delivered.
With the help of SourceFuse, we built a custom AWS setup that makes our systems run lightning fast. AWS tools like Amazon Aurora and Amazon CloudWatch worked brilliantly to help ERIN handle tasks more smoothly, cutting down extra steps and allowing us to add new features more easily. This setup lets us focus on what we do best — connecting people — while keeping our costs under control. But when the rubber hit the road, what kind of results did we get? So glad you asked.
Since moving to AWS, ERIN has cut hosting costs by a whopping 40 percent, which allows us to keep improving the platform and add features faster. We saw a 30 percent increase in referral hires and 50 percent longer retention rates for ERIN customers. So not only were we quicker and more adaptive, but customers were happier and still felt like they were taken care of, not just a number. And this is just the beginning.
It’s been said that a good house starts with a great foundation — a fact that we at ERIN kept near and dear to us as we kicked off our expansion process. It’s clear from start to finish, the systems in place through AWS and SourceFuse are the bricks of a very solid foundation that will help ERIN expand, evolve, and improve in ways we could only previously imagine.
Between the expansion, the coverage, the smooth transition, and the stats, ERIN couldn’t feel more prepared to launch into the future head-first. With these new tools, we’re ready to take on more clients, more exciting new ventures, and more sectors than ever before. So if you’re looking to take your hiring to the next level, schedule a demo here and let ERIN do what we do best: talk.
Have you ever wondered what it takes to keep ERIN running smoothly for millions of users around the world?
With nearly 100 clients counting on us every day, we needed a smart way to keep up with the growing demand without slowing down. That’s why ERIN teamed up with AWS and SourceFuse for a big upgrade. This change isn’t just about technology—it’s about making ERIN faster, stronger, and ready to handle whatever comes next.
Meeting the Demands of Our Growing Network
As ERIN’s network of users expanded, so did our need for a system that could keep up. Managing so much activity used to mean adding more resources, which added complexity and cost. We wanted a better way to stay reliable and efficient for everyone using ERIN.
Building a Faster, More Efficient Platform with AWS
With the help of SourceFuse, we built a custom AWS setup that makes our systems run faster and more efficiently. AWS tools like Amazon Aurora and Amazon CloudWatch now help ERIN handle tasks more smoothly, cutting down on extra steps and allowing us to add new features more easily. This setup lets us focus on what we do best—connecting people—while keeping our costs under control.
Cutting Costs and Setting Up for Future Growth
Since moving to AWS, ERIN has cut hosting costs by 40%, which allows us to keep improving the platform and add features faster. This foundation means we’re ready to grow and continue adding tools like job-matching improvements, making the experience better for all our users.
A Stronger, More Reliable ERIN for the Future
This upgrade isn’t just about staying up-to-date; it’s about ensuring ERIN can keep supporting our community for years to come. With this new foundation, we’re ready to bring you a stronger, more reliable ERIN, built for the future!
We are excited to broaden our services and expand to meet the needs of our rapidly growing customer base. Read more about our partnership with AWS here.
