Case Study: Cimpress achieves significant AWS cost savings and organization-wide cloud spending visibility with CloudAbility

How Cimpress Saved on AWS and Gained Critical Cloud Spending Visibility

Cimpress, a Netherlands-based maker of custom print, signage, apparel and promotional products with about 10,000 employees and 28 business units using AWS, faced a critical lack of organizational visibility into cloud spending and usage. Default billing reports produced too much raw data and onerous access requirements, leaving engineering teams without the role-specific insights needed to make cost-effective infrastructure decisions.

Cimpress engaged Cloudability, which delivered native data overlays, customizable dashboards and tools like the RI Planner plus targeted waste reports and EC2 recommendations. The Cloudability team converted top use cases into immediate actions with minimal setup, and Cimpress recouped the tool’s cost within months, achieved significant ongoing monthly savings, and unlocked identified potential savings in the six-figure-per-month range while gaining clear, evolving visibility across teams.
