Case Studies
High Growth SME
Cloud Costs Optimisation
Cloud Costs Optimisation
Background
A Cheshire-based financial services company was encountering high growth, however their technology systems and platforms were struggling to keep up. Frequent Line of Business (LoB) application outages, lack of accurate MI, and a large product backlog were all symptoms of this; affecting the business’ ability to make decisions and scale efficiently.
Solution
An initial review of processes and technology was carried out, which produced an analysis of gaps and proposed improvements alongside prioritised recommendations to alleviate the current and future challenges.
It was agreed to implement a selection of the recommendations, and working with the in-house team and third-party partners we embarked on a digital transformation that provided quick initial wins as well as setting them up for future growth. A 3-year technology roadmap was also produced helping to understand what was important to the organisation and how to efficiently deliver this.
Application stability was greatly improved (reducing service interruption by 80%), and clear MI was delivered into the business to help them understand where further work was needed, and which commercial areas presented the most opportunity. This allowed the company to undergo treble-digit growth over the next 3 years.
Cloud Costs Optimisation
Cloud Costs Optimisation
Cloud Costs Optimisation
Background
A large financial client chose to move their internal and customer-facing platform and applications across to Amazon AWS infrastructure. The decision was taken to do it on a ‘lift and shift’ basis, in order to minimise risk and the chance of any service interruption.
Whilst the migration was completed successfully, the approach employed meant that at first the AWS platform was inefficient and significant overspend on budgeted costs meant that the expected ROI was not being met.
Solution
We carried out a full review of services and applications, including analysis of cost vs. revenue, RTO and RPO requirements, and usage data. In conjunction with specialist architects and the Amazon AWS team, we identified and prioritised areas for cost reduction/resource optimisation and created a project structure through which to deliver these.
Overall, this delivered around $4m in OPEX savings in year 1.
