Case Study: Major Coffeehouse Chain saves $5M with Insight’s FinOps and cloud governance solution

Major Coffeehouse Chain Saves Millions Transforming Back-End IT Through FinOps and OCM

Major Coffeehouse Chain partnered with Insight to address escalating Azure cloud costs as its subscription footprint grew. As a cloud-first business, the company’s Center of Excellence team needed a smarter way to manage consumption, optimize existing resources, and improve financial governance across its back-end IT operations. Insight supported the effort through consulting services, including a Financial Governance and Cost Optimization Assessment and a DevOps and Cloud Financial Governance Workshop.

Insight implemented a FinOps framework, built a FinOps application to help prevent overspending, and provided cloud governance and organizational change management support to drive adoption. The result was more than $5M in annual savings across 300 Azure subscriptions, roughly 20% of annual Azure spend, along with improved visibility and a stronger path to ongoing cloud optimization.
