Case Study: Progress Software achieves cloud cost accountability and AI cost control with CloudZero

Progress Software reaches 156 daily active users with CloudZero

Progress Software, a company with 20 product lines spanning five cloud platforms, faced significant challenges in managing its cloud costs and connecting engineering decisions to financial impact. Their legacy cloud cost management platform was inflexible and laborious, preventing effective cost allocation and hindering goals for AI cost efficiency and unit economics. This lack of visibility made it difficult to foster cost accountability among engineers.

CloudZero provided the solution by automating organization-wide cloud cost allocation, which mapped directly to Progress's internal business structure. This implementation engaged 156 daily active engineering users, established four unit cost metrics for key products, and prevented unnecessary AI costs from accruing. CloudZero enabled Progress to achieve automated visibility, proactive cost savings, and a foundation for responsible, AI-forward growth.
