Case Study: a US-based nationwide retail group achieves $3M annual savings with Ensono’s AWS migration and modernization

Nationwide Retail Group saves $3M annually with Ensono

Ensono partnered with a US-based nationwide retail group that was struggling to consolidate IT operations after a major merger. The customer faced high costs and complexity across six data centers, with escalating licensing fees and stretched internal teams, all while needing to maintain service continuity and meet aggressive efficiency targets.

Ensono designed and managed a two-part strategy to migrate workloads to AWS and convert the remaining environment to Red Hat. This solution included securing AWS funding, managing vendor relationships, and introducing containerization. The results, delivered by Ensono, include projected annual savings of $3 million, a 77% ROI in the first year, successful data center consolidation, and maintained business stability throughout the transformation.
