Case Study: Home Office achieves £2 million annual cloud cost savings with PA Consulting

Saving millions of pounds every year through smart management of cloud resources

The Home Office worked with PA Consulting to get maximum value from its new cloud infrastructure after moving its visa application service to a new cloud provider. The challenge was to optimize cloud spending and improve efficiency while supporting faster, easier online applications and processing.

PA Consulting used its cloud optimization capability and tool to analyze billing and usage data, rightsize resources, switch capacity on only when needed, and introduce reserved capacity commitments. The result was more than 40% in identified cost savings, worth around £2 million a year, along with a dashboard to improve visibility into cloud costs and drive better spending decisions.
