Case Study: a global media company increases AWS savings by 50%+ with ProsperOps

a global media company boosts AWS savings 50%+ with ProsperOps

a global media company was spending over $17 million per month on AWS compute. Their mature cost optimization program, which used a third-party broker to manage Reserved Instances, was only achieving a 26% Effective Savings Rate. Manual processes could not keep up with their infrastructure's hourly volatility, leading to inadequate discount coverage, mismanaged commitments, and an estimated $3 million in missed savings.

The company implemented ProsperOps to automate its discount instrument management for RIs and Savings Plans. Using AI, the ProsperOps platform performs thousands of monthly optimization actions to align discounts with usage. As a result, the company's Effective Savings Rate increased from 26.4% to over 42%, generating $2.1 million in net incremental savings within the first four months and an expected $8 million within 12 months.
