Case Study: Foster Moore achieves 30–40% AWS cost savings and stronger user governance with ParkMyCloud

Foster Moore Saves 30-40% on AWS, Enforces User Governance with ParkMyCloud

Foster Moore, an international software development company, faced rapidly rising AWS costs and the operational burden of managing global user access to cloud instances during a period of fast growth. They needed a way to enforce user governance, attach costs to projects and teams, and reduce the manual overhead of shutting down idle instances. After evaluating options, Foster Moore selected ParkMyCloud to provide automated scheduling and self-service controls for their AWS environments.

ParkMyCloud was implemented to create team-based access, centralized admin visibility and audit logs, and a default 24/7 “parked” schedule that team members can “snooze” when needed. This shifted cost control from IT to business owners, simplified governance, and immediately reduced waste; Foster Moore reports 30–40% savings on their total AWS bill using ParkMyCloud.
