National Cancer Institute saves 25% on licensing costs with ICF and Datadog

The National Cancer Institute (NCI) faced challenges with rising cloud costs, fragmented visibility, and security vulnerabilities across its multi-cloud environment. Compounded by federal procurement constraints, NCI needed a solution to modernize its cloud operations and cost management. ICF partnered with NCI to implement Datadog's unified observability platform.

The solution provided a single-pane view across 300+ AWS and Google Cloud accounts and 700+ hosts. By leveraging Datadog, NCI achieved over 25% savings in licensing costs, improved cost visibility with AI-based optimization recommendations, and increased operational efficiency through streamlined management and faster incident response.
