Case Study: Saint-Gobain Group achieves 40% cloud cost savings and enhanced observability with Elastic Cloud (Elastic)

Saint-Gobain optimizes log analysis, adopts observability, and reduces costs by 40% by shifting to Elastic Cloud

Saint-Gobain Distribution Bâtiment France (part of the global Saint-Gobain Group) needed to modernize log management and monitoring for its construction-materials operations. SGDBF was handling about 6 TB of logs across 31 VMs in 12 clusters, facing high infrastructure costs and limited observability as it moved toward cloud-first operations.

SGDBF partnered with Elastic to adopt Elastic Cloud and Elastic Observability (with APM, synthetics, machine‑learning anomaly detection, search, and Elastic consulting), completing the migration in three months. The shift simplified environment management, improved monitoring and analytics, enabled APM on critical apps and Gen AI experiments, and cut cloud costs by roughly 40% while boosting operational agility.
