Their vision was to automate complex, knowledge-intensive processes and democratize expertise through AI-powered orchestration. The first step: digitalizing static, expert-dependent workflows into dynamic, intelligent assets that guide users through complexity with confidence.
Pontevo's platform was already making waves with a grant application MVP, but the ambition was bigger — build a robust, cloud-native solution that could unlock new possibilities for innovation, efficiency, and greater impact.
Why they turned to Cloudya, Antire, and Arrow
When the stakes are high and the path is uncharted, you need more than just technology — you need partners who understand and support your mission and can unlock the full power of technology to help you get there, in this case AWS. That is where Cloudya, Antire, and Arrow came in.
- CloudyaBrought deep AWS infrastructure knowledge and expertise, ensuring every architectural decision was made for resilience, security, and scale.
- AntireDelivered technical implementation muscle, translating vision into reality with precision and agility. Antire's expertise was crucial to the development and innovation in this project.
- ArrowHelped all parties navigate the complexity of AWS funding, programs, and best practices, making sure Pontevo could access resources and support that would have been out of reach alone.
Building the foundations for scale
Transformation isn't just about technology — it's about building a foundation for growth. Here's how we did it:
- AWS funding and programmesArrow secured AWS POC funding, offsetting project costs and enabling Pontevo to innovate without financial barriers.
- Resilient architectureWe rebuilt the MVP as a scalable, secure, cloud-based platform on AWS, leveraging best practices for infrastructure, containerization, and monitoring.
- Security and automationFrom end-to-end encryption and PII redaction to automated CI/CD pipelines and robust access controls, every layer was designed for trust and efficiency.
- FinOps clarityCost monitoring, optimization reviews, and transparent pricing ensured Pontevo could scale with confidence and clarity.
- AWS servicesS3, CloudFront, API Gateway, Lambda, RDS, Cognito, Bedrock, CloudWatch, and more — each chosen for performance, reliability, and future-proofing.
Transformation in motion
Before: a promising but static MVP, running locally, limited by infrastructure and scalability. Grant applications were automated, but the platform couldn't grow or adapt at the pace Pontevo needed.
After: a dynamic, cloud-native solution on AWS, orchestrating LLM-powered workflows, automating grant writing, and supporting multiple frameworks globally. The transformation was dramatic:
- 3–4x faster processing speeds — results in a third of the time
- Radically accelerated feature development — focus shifted from infrastructure to innovation
- 99.5% uptime — enterprise-grade reliability
- Seamless user experience — web-based, secure, and scalable
What we're proud of
This isn't just a technical win — it's a mission delivered. By unlocking AWS programs, best practices, and architectural excellence, Antire and Cloudya together with Arrow helped move from vision to velocity. We enabled resilience, security, automation, and cost clarity — giving Pontevo the freedom to innovate, scale, and lead.
