Case Study: University of Phoenix cuts costs by $50 million with Expedient Enterprise Cloud

University of Phoenix cuts costs by $50 million with Expedien

The University of Phoenix, a leader in online education, faced significant challenges from maintaining its massive on-premises data center, which consumed over 70% of IT resources and had an annual electric bill of $1.7 million. Previous attempts to migrate to a hyperscale cloud had failed. Facing a data center lease renewal, the university partnered with vendor Expedient for a solution.

Using Expedient's Enterprise Cloud and other services, the university successfully migrated its infrastructure. This solution implemented by Expedient resulted in cost savings of $50 million over three and a half years and saved over 234,000 hours of labor. The university reduced its owned hardware from thousands of servers to just seven, allowing more resources to be directed toward enhancing the student experience.
