Case Study: Financial Services Provider Company saves $28.6M and avoids 100+ P1 outages with Precisely Capacity Management

Financial Services Provider Company - Customer Case Study

Financial Services Provider Company was growing rapidly through record business and acquisitions but faced soaring IT costs and infrastructure sprawl from virtualization, leaving excess unused capacity and increased risk of outages. To address this, the company evaluated vendors and chose Precisely’s Capacity Management solution (implemented as Syncsort Capacity Management) to standardize capacity processes and automate analysis so analysts could focus on strategic initiatives.

Precisely deployed its Capacity Management across Unix, Linux, VMware, storage and Db2 after a quick proof of concept, enabling predictive analysis and automated monitoring. Over three years the customer avoided more than 100 Priority 1 outages (valued at $24M), saved $3.8M in IT spend, realized an $800K hardware purchase saving, sped incident resolution, and improved procurement decisions — with plans to integrate APM data into the CMIS next.
