Case Study: Goodwill Industries of Kentucky achieves $45K annual cost savings and a lean, mission-focused IT team with Flexential colocation

Enriching the community through job skills development and placement services

Goodwill Industries of Kentucky, a nonprofit that funds job training and placement through its retail stores, needed to streamline IT so its small team could focus on mission-driven programs. Hosting servers on-prem consumed time and resources while the organization—operating across 66 locations—required a reliable, budget-friendly way to capture point-of-sale data and support operations without needing real-time or highly regulated infrastructure.

Goodwill moved to Flexential colocation, cloud and disaster recovery, offloading security, redundancy and maintenance so IT could remain lean and reallocate staff to program-facing roles. The OPEX pricing simplified budgeting and delivered about $45K in annual savings, improved uptime and recoverability, and enabled further investments in data mapping and analytics to better support the community.
