25% in validated monthly AWS savings
Propio provides secure, multi-platform language interpretation and localization services that bridge the gap between the people served and the resources they need.
OPPORTUNITY
Propio engaged Kickdrum to analyze AWS spending and identify savings opportunities. Propio was able to achieve the first 10% within 5 minutes and without any code changes.
RESULTS
Kickdrum identified waste in under-used functionality and regions
Propio had unused resources that weren't obvious, along with suboptimal configurations where value didn't align with cost. Kickdrum helped the company adjust settings, reduce overly verbose logging, and remove unneeded capacity.
Propio needed to modernize their storage approach
Propio’s older servers were using storage that was slower and more expensive. Kickdrum identified a better approach where Propio could get the same or better performance for significantly less money.
Finding a smarter alignment between utilization and AWS spend
Propio was spending on reserved capacity that went unused, while also paying on-demand rates for capacity that was predictable and could be reserved. Kickdrum helped identify the right ways to plan and spend on AWS, reducing spend without changing services.
“We’ve been very, very happy so far with the cost savings based on the changes that your folks suggested.”
