Case Study: ITV reduces cloud costs by 50% with Glide

Cloud Migration Management at ITV

ITV, the British broadcasting and streaming company, needed a better way to manage cloud financial operations across dozens of product teams as it migrated a large estate from data centers to AWS and Azure and launched its streaming service. Existing dashboards in BigQuery and Looker Studio were too limited, read-only, and AWS-only, so ITV turned to Glide to build a custom FinOps platform.

Using Glide, ITV created its “Application Portfolio Manager” to provide real-time cost visibility, budgeting, forecasting, what-if analysis, and workflow management for cloud teams. The tool helped ITV achieve 50% cost optimization of its Azure spend in 2023, save 3 months on MVP time to market, and support 40 users across 5 divisional teams each week.
