Case Study: Nreca reduces infrastructure costs by 30% with IBM Cloudability

The National Rural Electric Cooperative Association reduces infrastructure costs by 30%

NRECA, the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association, needed better visibility and control over cloud spending as it migrated applications to AWS and pursued a hybrid cloud strategy. The not-for-profit organization wanted to avoid overspending, allocate shared costs accurately, and understand the total cost of ownership of its applications, so it turned to IBM Cloudability.

IBM implemented Cloudability to provide cloud cost transparency, cost allocation, and optimization insights. As a result, NRECA improved cost awareness, reduced infrastructure costs by 30% overall, and saw individual application savings of 70% to more than 90%, helping it reinvest savings back into serving its members.
