Supporting HR and People Teams With the Right Digital Tools

Modern HR teams are expected to deliver seamless experiences across onboarding, communication, learning and development. But legacy systems, fragmented platforms, and inefficient processes often stand in the way.

We understand the frustrations that come with disconnected systems, clunky interfaces and time-consuming manual processes. These challenges can hinder visibility, reduce productivity and lead to disengagement. Many organisations also find that off-the-shelf platforms fail to meet their specific needs. That's where D55 comes in , building custom HR tools that support your processes, your people and your long-term goals.

Optimise costs and resource utilisation by paying only for the resources you use, with features like auto-scaling and on-demand capacity that automatically adjust capacity to match your workload.

Accelerate time-to-market by leveraging DynamoDB's fully managed, serverless architecture, reducing time spent on administrative tasks and operational overhead.

Talk to us about Amazon DynamoDB

D55 enabled us to migrate from on-premise to a cloud-based solution, resulting in monthly cost savings of about 40%. Cloud-based systems give us a high level of resiliency and an unlimited capacity to scale. We’ve really put in place the foundations for later phases of work and further cost reduction as we scale. It was a partnership as opposed to a service - we work well together.
