Reduced portfolio cloud spend by 80% across AWS and GCP
Cloud spend had accumulated across two providers and a portfolio of independently run operating companies, none of which had visibility into what the others were running or paying for.
80%Reduction in portfolio cloud spend
2Cloud providers consolidated
The challenge
- Spend was spread across AWS and GCP with no consolidated view.
- Each operating company provisioned independently, so duplicate and idle capacity went unnoticed across the group.
- Instances had been sized for peak launch load and never revisited.
- No committed-use planning, so steady-state workloads paid on-demand rates.
What we did
- Ran architecture reviews across the portfolio to find duplicated and idle capacity.
- Consolidated overlapping infrastructure where regulatory separation permitted it.
- Right-sized workloads against real utilisation rather than launch-day assumptions.
- Introduced committed use planning for predictable steady-state workloads.
