Case Study: Western Union optimizes cloud infrastructure and costs with env0

Western Union Scales Cloud Infrastructure and Optimizes Costs

Western Union, the global money transfer and payment services company, needed a better way to manage cloud infrastructure at scale. With more than 2,000 developers and hundreds of applications, its IaC processes were fragmented across teams and tools, creating manual deployment work, limited visibility, inconsistent governance, and unpredictable costs. Western Union turned to env0 for a more unified IaC management approach.

Using env0, Western Union built a fully automated IaC pipeline with granular pre-deployment checks, approval policies, RBAC, and OPA-based guardrails, plus FinOps integrations to improve cost control. The result was stronger security and compliance, better cross-team collaboration, a shared source of truth for IaC, and self-service deployment for developers. env0 helped cut deployment times from weeks to hours, and even minutes, while improving cost predictability and supporting Western Union’s broader FinOps strategy.
