Case Study: PetroSkills saves $141K and improves performance with Flexential

PetroSkills saves $141K while improving performance with Flexentia

PetroSkills, a global leader in oil and gas training that supports more than 335,000 participants and hundreds of annual courses, needed to consolidate multiple cloud and colocation providers, scale its e-learning portal and replicate the high service levels it had achieved with one provider across its entire environment while “right‑sizing” architecture for cost and performance.

Flexential designed a hybrid IT solution—combining private cloud, colocation, managed security and dedicated servers—then migrated PetroSkills in two months, consolidating environments and sharing a smaller, more efficient architecture. The move delivered a 66.5% reduction in cloud costs ($141K per year), improved performance and availability with redundant data centers and 24/7 support, and simplified the company’s overall IT infrastructure.
