Client story

Optimizing cloud architecture for cost savings and resource management 

  • IT Strategy & CTO Advisory

The challenge

Our client, a multi-million-dollar software company, had significant organic growth that resulted in an inefficient infrastructure. As the company expanded, their Azure environment required re-architecture to fully unlock potential cost savings. We were brought in to lead the re-architecture process and manage the migration to the new infrastructure with minimal downtime. To ensure a smooth transition, we implemented a phased approach, starting with upgrading the environment to capture immediate cost savings through an optimized Azure setup.

The solution

We discovered that the client was overpaying for quality assurance, costing them tens of thousands of dollars each month. To address this, we carefully designed the remaining phases to focus only on the critical tests needed during migration, minimizing risk. We then created a parallel infrastructure, migrated the systems, and retired the old setup.

The results

  • The migration resulted in an estimated cost savings of $9,000 per month.
  • Additionally, 120 individual apps were successfully migrated to the new infrastructure, each one meticulously aligned with its specific resource consumption, ensuring optimized performance and efficiency.
