Case Study: Leading Enterprise Software Company achieves up to 28% cloud cost savings with BMC Software

Leading Enterprise Software Company Identifies Up to 28% Cost Savings Through Cloud Optimization Strategies

This leading enterprise software company, which supports over 10,000 customers and 500 partners worldwide, faced limited visibility into cloud costs across its business units. That lack of transparency left IT unable to pinpoint top spend areas, eliminate waste, or implement consistent governance needed to create a focused cloud strategy and reduce overall cloud spend.

Partnering with BMC’s Multi‑Cloud Strategic Advisory Service and using BMC Discovery, TrueSight Cloud Cost Control, and TrueSight Cloud Security, the company conducted a comprehensive AWS assessment (5 apps analyzed, 138 instances identified) to map usage and optimize workloads. The review identified up to 28% in cloud cost savings (approximately $430K annually) and uncovered nearly $1.5M in potential savings for a key business unit, while enabling instance rationalization, reduced CPU/DASD usage, and a governance framework to sustain ongoing optimization.
