Case Study: MoxiWorks achieves 40% EC2 discount with Apptio Cloudability Savings Automation

MoxiWorks cuts EC2 costs 40% with Apptio Cloudability Savings Automation

MoxiWorks, a provider of cloud-based software solutions for real estate brokerages, faced the challenge of managing its rapidly growing AWS cloud costs. As the company migrated more infrastructure to the cloud, its self-managed commitment discount program became too complex and time-consuming to handle effectively, risking missed savings opportunities. They turned to vendor Apptio and its Cloudability Savings Automation service for a solution.

Apptio's solution automated the management of AWS commitment discount programs using a combination of Compute Savings Plans and Convertible Reserved Instances. This approach provided MoxiWorks with high coverage and significant discounts without requiring lengthy commitments. The results were substantial: MoxiWorks achieved an average discount rate of 35-40% on its EC2 usage, maintained coverage near 100%, and grew its AWS usage by 25% while only increasing overall costs by 4%.
