How a Leading IT Enterprise Saved $267K in Cloud Spend with Cloudshot

 How a Leading IT Enterprise Saved $267K in Cloud Spend with Cloudshot

Operating across AWS, Azure, and GCP, a major global IT services provider faced a growing problem: cloud costs were out of control, and visibility was nearly impossible.

They had a vast infrastructure but lacked the clarity to manage it effectively. With tagging inconsistencies, idle resources, and bloated compute, cloud waste was piling up—and the finance team was stuck compiling data manually.

Sound familiar? That’s where Cloudshot came in.

The Challenge: Too Much Cloud, Too Little Control

Despite their best efforts, the company was losing money in areas they couldn’t see. Hours were spent manually generating cost reports, only to realize spikes and inefficiencies had already occurred.

They weren’t just after cost reduction—they needed to gain control over their cloud landscape.

Cloudshot Delivered Visibility, Efficiency, and Action

Within just an hour of deployment, Cloudshot began changing how they managed cloud.

✅ Cross-Cloud Cost Insights in One Unified Dashboard

Cloudshot seamlessly integrated AWS, Azure, and GCP into a single, real-time interface. Finance and CloudOps teams now had complete visibility across accounts, teams, and regions—eliminating hours of spreadsheet chaos.

✅ Automated Identification of Hidden Waste

From idle VMs to untagged storage and right-sizing opportunities, Cloudshot uncovered previously hidden inefficiencies. Teams no longer had to dig through usage reports—waste was flagged automatically.

✅ Instant Optimization, Zero Guesswork

With every issue surfaced, Cloudshot suggested actionable, pre-tested fixes. Teams could resolve inefficiencies with a click—confident that nothing would break production.

✅ Live Alerts on Spending Anomalies

The platform detected unusual spend in real time. Instead of waiting for end-of-month surprises, Cloudshot alerted teams within hours, enabling faster response and tighter budget control.

✅ Real Savings: $267,000 and Counting

Thanks to early spike detection, infrastructure right-sizing, and better governance of shared services, this enterprise saved over $267,000—all without reducing performance.

Time Back on the Clock

Beyond the money, Cloudshot delivered time savings that made a major difference.

💬 “Cloudshot has transformed how we manage our cloud costs. The visibility and controls have made a huge difference to our bottom line.”
– Sarah Johnson, Director of Cloud Operations

With six-plus hours a week saved, their team could finally focus on strategy—not firefighting spreadsheets and reconciling budgets.

If You’re Wondering Where Your Cloud Budget Is Going…

Cloudshot helps answer key questions like:

  • Why do we keep going over budget?

  • Where are we overspending?

  • How can we act before issues spiral?

You’re not alone—and this story proves the answers are within reach.

Why Cloudshot Stands Out

Unlike legacy cost tools that provide hindsight, Cloudshot is built for real-time visibility, automation, and control.

  • Unified dashboards across clouds

  • Tagging and hygiene audits

  • Intelligent drift detection

  • One-click optimization

It’s not just a reporting tool—it’s a real-time control center for your cloud spend.

From Spreadsheets to Strategy: Forecasting Cloud Costs With Accuracy

Image
  From Spreadsheets to Strategy: Forecasting Cloud Costs With Accuracy Cloud budgets keep rising—but visibility doesn’t. If you’re still forecasting with last month’s invoice and manual Excel sheets, you’re not forecasting. You’re reacting. And by the time those costs surface in your next quarterly review, it’s already too late. Why Forecasting Is Broken in the Cloud Era The pace of cloud changes far exceeds traditional planning tools. CFOs want precision—but finance teams lack the context, and engineering teams lack forecasting tools. Usage Fluctuates by the Hour Engineers scale infrastructure for projects and forget teardown. Forecasts miss these swings entirely. No Connection Between Spend and Purpose Finance sees a jump in AWS bills, but they don’t know it’s due to a temporary initiative—like a product relaunch. Seasonal and Dev Cycle Patterns Get Ignored Static models can’t predict expected bursts tied to promotions or quarter ends. Reactive Planning Drains ...

Prevent Audit Failures with Visual Cloud Policy Mapping

Image
  Prevent Audit Failures with Visual Cloud Policy Mapping The countdown begins—five days to your next compliance audit. And suddenly your Slack is flooded: “Do our IAM roles reflect prod accurately?” “Who owns access to that third-party integration?” “Did anyone update the audit logs?” Instead of focusing on strategic initiatives, engineers are digging through outdated permissions, juggling spreadsheets, and hoping no gaps surface. Visibility Gaps, Not Tool Gaps, Cause Audit Issues Most compliance failures aren’t due to negligence—they’re due to incomplete visibility. SaaS teams think they’re secure until auditors demand: Proof of Principle of Least Privilege A consistent policy structure across environments Evidence that access hasn’t drifted And that’s where it breaks. Zombie Permissions Old accounts that never got cleaned up, but still retain critical access. Manual Reviews That Miss Policy Sprawl PDFs can’t catch when a staging policy quietly overr...
