Vimigo - Cloud Cost Optimisation

Client Overview

Vimigo is a performance-based employee rewards platform focused on maximizing team efficiency and productivity. By providing a clear and transparent rewards system, Vimigo empowers SMEs to align employee performance with company goals, ultimately driving business growth and team motivation.

The Challenge

As Vimigo scaled its operations and user base, cloud infrastructure costs became a critical focus. The leadership recognized that while cloud services enabled agility and scalability, unchecked spending could hinder profitability and limit investments in future innovations.

Key Challenges:

• Rising cloud infrastructure costs with increasing platform usage.
• Need for greater visibility into cloud spending patterns.
• Aligning infrastructure investments with business growth objectives.
• Enabling financial control without compromising on performance or innovation.

The Solution

To tackle these challenges, a targeted cloud cost optimization initiative was launched, leveraging AWS-native tools and best practices:

Cloud Cost Optimization (CO) Assessment

A comprehensive Cloud CO Assessment was conducted to analyze current usage patterns, identify underutilized resources, and uncover inefficiencies in the cloud architecture.

Optimized Resource Planning

Rightsizing instances, eliminating unused resources, and adjusting provisioning based on workload demands allowed Vimigo to reduce waste and better align cloud resources with operational needs.

AWS Cost Explorer & Budgets

By implementing AWS Cost Explorer and AWS Budgets, Vimigo gained real-time visibility into its spending and set proactive budget thresholds. This empowered the team to forecast costs, set alerts, and make informed decisions to avoid overspending.

The Impact

1. Cost Efficiency- Achieved significant cost savings by identifying and eliminating underutilized resources. Budget tracking enabled proactive control over spending.
2. Performance Efficiency - Streamlined cloud architecture ensured high system availability and responsiveness while maintaining optimal resource allocation.
3. Financial Control - Improved cost transparency gave leadership the confidence to reinvest savings into strategic innovations and growth initiatives.
