Case Study: EASY SOFTWARE cuts operating costs and scales SaaS with Proact Managed Kubernetes

Successful start in the EASY Cloud and setting the course for SaaS with cloud and business partner Proact

Easy Software, a company that develops digital business process software, faced challenges with high costs, limited flexibility, and a lack of in-house expertise from their outsourcing partner. This hindered their planned switch to a Software as a Service (SaaS) model. To become cloud-capable, they sought a new partner with technological know-how and German data centres, ultimately selecting vendor Proact for a managed Kubernetes service.

Proact implemented a fully API-driven managed Kubernetes service on OpenStack, hosting it in their Nuremberg data centre. This solution provided holistic 24/7 operational management, including monitoring and disaster recovery. The results were significant: Easy Software reduced its operating costs by 50%, gained reliable cost forecasting for scaling, and achieved greater efficiency. The collaboration also provided the creative freedom and scalability needed to secure Easy Software's path towards a future hybrid and multi-cloud strategy.
