Case Study: IXD achieves 80% cost savings and rapid, compliant secure messaging with Amazon SES

IXD - Customer Case Study

IXD is a secure email and information-delivery service serving healthcare, legal, accounting, and other regulated industries. To disrupt a crowded market, IXD needed to offer services at a much lower price than competitors (who charge $15–$25/user/month) while meeting stringent security and compliance requirements (HIPAA, PCI‑DSS, FedRAMP, Sarbanes‑Oxley). The company chose Amazon SES (and other AWS services) as part of its cloud foundation to support secure messaging and internal email functions.

Using Amazon SES alongside AWS tools like Amazon EC2 (with AES‑NI), Amazon S3, Amazon DynamoDB, and AWS Elastic Beanstalk, IXD launched IXD Secure Mail in about nine months, implemented multiple layers of encryption, and met regulatory controls. The AWS-based solution enabled an estimated 75% cost saving versus another cloud provider, delivered a product that is about 80% cheaper than many competitors, shaved roughly 10 weeks off development time, and helped IXD sustain rapid growth (over 60% monthly). Amazon SES was part of that integrated AWS stack supporting IXD’s internal email and overall service reliability.
