Case Study: PatSnap achieves 50% cost reduction and doubles product iteration speed with Amazon SES

PatSnap - Customer Case Study

PatSnap, a global one‑stop platform for patent search, analysis, and management, faced the challenge of moving from local IDC servers to a secure, globally available, and easily scalable infrastructure to protect its patent databases and speed product iteration. To solve this it migrated to the AWS cloud and adopted a range of AWS services — including Amazon SES — to achieve centralized global reach, stronger security, and faster development cycles.

Using Amazon SES alongside AWS offerings such as Amazon VPC, AWS WAF, Amazon DynamoDB, Amazon S3/Glacier, CloudFormation, and Data Pipeline, PatSnap implemented a multi‑region, secure architecture and automated data management. The move delivered measurable impact: a 50% reduction in annual O&M costs (20% lower initial setup costs), a 100% increase in product iteration speed (time‑to‑market cut from one month to two weeks), databases holding 130 million patent entries with elastic throughput, and sales that doubled in 2016 — all while improving reliability and security. Amazon SES was part of the broader AWS stack supporting these results.
