Case Study: NRECA reduces infrastructure costs by 30% with Apptio Cloudability

NRECA reduces infrastructure costs by 30% with Apptio

The National Rural Electric Cooperative Association (NRECA) faced the challenge of managing costs and gaining visibility after migrating a significant portion of its applications to AWS. As a not-for-profit focused on wise money management, it needed to prevent cloud cost overruns and accurately allocate shared expenses across its groups. To address this, NRECA turned to Apptio and implemented its product, IBM Cloudability.

Apptio's Cloudability solution provided the necessary visibility into cloud spend, enabling NRECA to track costs and demonstrate savings from cloud migration. This increased cost awareness empowered development teams to make more cost-conscious architecture decisions. As a result, Apptio helped NRECA reduce its infrastructure costs by 30% across the board, with some specific applications seeing cost reductions of 70% to over 90%.
