Case Study: Sage achieves $1M+ in annual savings with Nerdio-managed Azure Virtual Desktop

Sage saves $1.5M annually with Nerdio

Sage, a global financial services firm providing accounting, payroll, and payment systems, faced significant challenges scaling its business on a Citrix hosting platform. The manual management of workloads was operationally burdensome, leading to high costs and inefficiencies in managing virtual machines. To address this, Sage sought a new solution and selected Nerdio Manager for Enterprise to work with Azure Virtual Desktop.

By implementing Nerdio, Sage enhanced automation and streamlined the scaling of its Azure Virtual Desktop environment. The solution simplified VM management, turning it into a largely hands-off process. This resulted in massive savings, reducing Azure virtual machine direct costs by 62-65% monthly, which equates to over $1 million annually. Furthermore, Nerdio allowed Sage to grow from 200 to 1,000 customers without adding any additional IT headcount, saving the company over 20 full-time employees worth of cost and enabling those resources to be reinvested into other business areas.
