Case Study: Large Financial Services Firm saves USD 500K in cloud costs with SoftwareONE FinOps Services

Financial services firm bridges FinOps gap

A large financial services firm in the United Kingdom turned to SoftwareONE when its managed services provider suddenly stopped supporting its FinOps practice. With a complex AWS environment and a multi-million dollar cloud budget, the company needed help maintaining visibility, controlling costs, and building in-house FinOps capabilities. SoftwareONE provided FinOps Services to fill the gap while supporting the firm’s move toward taking FinOps fully in house.

SoftwareONE worked closely with stakeholders to analyze cloud usage, right-size resources, optimize savings plans and configurations, and support the migration to a new FinOps platform. Over just a few months, the engagement helped the customer mature its FinOps practice, improve reporting and decision-making, and reduce cloud spending by around USD 500K. The firm was able to maintain reliable services, resolve issues faster, and strengthen its ability to manage cloud costs independently.
