Case Study: Cimpress gains cloud spending visibility and accountability with Apptio Cloudability

Cimpress saves within months with Apptio Cloudability and spots six figures in monthly savings

Cimpress, an international company producing custom promotional products, faced a challenge in gaining visibility and accountability for its Amazon Web Services (AWS) spending across its 28 business units. They needed an accurate picture of their cloud costs to improve allocation and optimization, which they could not achieve with their in-house methods. To solve this, they turned to the vendor Apptio and its Apptio Cloudability platform.

Apptio Cloudability provided the solution by ingesting massive amounts of AWS billing data and turning it into actionable insights and precise usage recommendations. The results were significant, with Cimpress reporting that the product paid for itself within months through immediate savings. The Apptio solution provided critical visibility, uncovered ongoing monthly savings, and identified potential six-figure monthly savings opportunities, allowing Cimpress to run its cloud with a high degree of accuracy and accountability.
