From 6 weeks to 1 day: Connected Data transforms onboarding with Rebura and AWS

When Connected Data wanted to accelerate customer onboarding and unlock scalable growth, they turned to Rebura - and we delivered. In just weeks, our team transformed a six-week manual process into a one-day, fully automated onboarding platform, powered by AWS.

This is the story of how a three-way partnership between Connected Data, Rebura, and AWS redefined what fast, secure, and scalable delivery looks like.

The Challenge

Connected Data empowers companies to make smarter, data-driven decisions using external data sources. When looking for a partner, Connected Data had a key requirement. They needed a company with deep experience in Amazon Web Services (AWS) and as an AWS Premier Service Partner, we were confident we could help.

Connected Data recognised that its client onboarding process could be more efficient. The existing approach required hands-on support from developers, which limited scalability and added unnecessary complexity.

By addressing these challenges, Connected Data created an opportunity to streamline onboarding, reduce costs and free up developers time.

The Solution

Powering Growth with AWS

We collaborated closely with Connected Data to design and deploy a new onboarding platform built entirely within their own AWS environment - giving them full ownership, control, and scalability from day one.

As Antony Dear, Director of Platform and Delivery, explained, “What was key for us was that everything was built and delivered in our environment… The Rebura team rolled into that really effectively. You don’t always get that with external delivery teams.”

This wasn’t just a two-way partnership. Rebura connected all three parties - Connected Data, AWS, and our own AWS specialists - to unlock access to AWS funding, technical resources, and best practices that supercharged delivery.

New clients are onboarded through simple configurations-minimal developer input needed.

Each client has a dedicated AWS account, managed centrally for security, compliance, and data governance.

The platform is ISO 27001 and Cyber Essentials Plus ready, with AWS-native services ensuring continued compliance and audit readiness.

AWS funding, secured by Rebura, significantly reduced upfront costs by 27% and accelerated deployment.

A Partnership for Growth

This project wasn’t just about technology - it was about partnership.
Together, Connected Data, Rebura, and AWS created a solution that transformed operations, accelerated growth, and unlocked a foundation for future innovation.

For Connected Data, Rebura wasn’t just a delivery partner - we were the catalyst for unlocking scalable growth. And that’s the value we bring to every engagement.

A word from our customers

Antony Dear

Director of Platform and Delivery at Connected Data

“From day one, working with Connected Data has been a pleasure. Their commitment to building the right solution - always with an eye on the future - kept us innovating at every step. After delivering v1, we carefully considered how to best support them, and an extended hyper-care period proved the perfect solution.

Today, we continue collaborating closely, adding new features and refining the platform. Currently, 14 products are live across multiple data providers, and our latest feature takes data enrichment to the next level" – Dan Keeley, Principal Data Engineer at Rebura.
