Case Study: a leading UK-based media group achieves significant GCP compute savings with Eviden

Optimizing Google Cloud (GCP) spend for a UK media group Navigating the nuances of Google Cloud cost optimization

A leading UK-based media group partnered with Eviden to tackle its challenge of optimizing spending on Google Cloud Platform (GCP). As a mature cloud user, the client sought to refine its consumption of GCP services but was unable to realize significant savings, particularly on its compute spend, and needed expert guidance.

Eviden's FinOps and Cloud Teams conducted a deep dive analysis and held workshops to scrutinize compute consumption and committed use discounts (CUDs). The solution included implementing Eviden's recommendations for rate optimization and developing a custom cost reporting tool. As a result, the media group achieved significant savings on its compute costs over a 10-month period.
