A large enterprise with operations across multiple industries needed to gain control over their sprawling AWS footprint while reducing costs. With hundreds of accounts supporting different business units, their IT leadership sought comprehensive visibility and automated remediation capabilities.

The Challenge

The company’s infrastructure complexity presented significant challenges:

  • 200+ AWS accounts across production and non-production environments
  • Multiple account structures for various business units
  • Limited visibility into cross-account spending patterns
  • Inconsistent resource tagging and governance

“As our cloud adoption matured, we found ourselves with a sprawling account structure that made cost attribution and optimization difficult. We needed a way to gain visibility and implement consistent governance across all our business units,” explains the Enterprise IT Director.

CloudFix identified significant savings opportunities across the enterprise:

  1. Reserved Instance Strategy
  2. Resource Right-sizing 
  3. Thousands of smaller optimizations across all accounts

“What impressed us most was the sheer number of recommendations. We’ve implemented over 5,000 optimizations, with 14,000+ more identified,” notes the Cloud Governance Manager.

Implementation Results

The enterprise has made remarkable progress implementing CloudFix recommendations:

“The ROI has been exceptional. We’ve already achieved over $1.1 million in annual savings, with a clear path to an additional $3.6 million”.

Business Impact

Beyond direct cost savings, the organization realized several strategic benefits:

  1. Enhanced Financial Governance: “We now have clear visibility into costs across all business units and can implement consistent governance policies.”
  2. Automated Operations: “CloudFix’s automated remediation capabilities have reduced the operational burden on our teams.
  3. Cross-Business Unit Benchmarking: “We can now compare cloud efficiency across business units, fostering healthy competition for optimization.”

“What’s most valuable is that CloudFix has transformed cloud cost management from a reactive exercise to a proactive strategy aligned with our business objectives,” concludes the CIO.
