Case Study: EY achieves $6 million in cloud savings and faster client onboarding with Microsoft Azure

EY Helix transforms audit by using analytics powered by Azure Synapse Analytics

EY, one of the world’s largest professional services organizations, needed to make its Global Tax Platform for Financial Services more cost-efficient, scalable, and easier to manage for US enterprise clients. Working with Microsoft Azure, EY sought better visibility into cloud costs and performance while trying to speed up client onboarding and support growth.

Microsoft Azure helped EY embed the Azure Well-Architected Framework into its EY Fabric platform and use tools like Power BI and Azure Data Factory to improve analytics and cloud architecture. As a result, EY retired more than 800 underused cloud resources, cut cloud hosting costs by 40%, and saved an estimated $6 million. Microsoft Azure also helped EY reduce onboarding time from two weeks to just hours, positioning the company for new revenue opportunities.
