Case Study: Sysco achieves $30,000/month cloud cost savings and optimizes its cloud-only strategy with ParkMyCloud

Sysco Migrates to Cloud Only Strategy Optimizes with ParkMyCloud

Sysco, a large foodservice company, migrated to a cloud-only strategy on AWS and the Senior Manager of the Cloud Enablement team faced rising, hard-to-control costs across 50+ teams and 500+ users — with cloud spend growing roughly 20% month-over-month and little visibility or automation to curb waste. In search of a cost-control tool, the team adopted ParkMyCloud.

ParkMyCloud provided automated scheduling, visibility into workload costs, and features like SmartParking so teams could shut down nonproduction instances without impacting business. The vendor’s solution produced measurable results: ParkMyCloud reports $60,000 in lifetime savings to date (with $30,000 monthly savings highlighted), one team cut costs by about 40% (from ~$10,000 to $5,800/month), and broader user empowerment gave leaders clear visibility into cloud spend.
