Case Study: The Wall Street Journal empowers readers with search tools using Amazon Web Services

The Wall Street Journal Empowers Readers with Search Tool Using Amazon Kendra

The Wall Street Journal wanted to make its election transcript database easier for readers to search and use, so they could ask natural-language questions and find what candidates said verbatim. Already working with Amazon Web Services, the WSJ explored a broader audience-facing search experience using Amazon Kendra to simplify access to transcript content and support its content and product strategy.

Amazon Web Services helped The Wall Street Journal build the solution through AWS Professional Services, including daily stand-ups, weekly meetings, and architectural guidance around Amazon Kendra. The result was a high-quality search tool delivered on time that could answer reader questions directly, with the potential to drive more site traffic and attract new subscribers.
