Health technology, on AWS
EAP Expert: Doubled its AWS footprint while its AWS bill went down.
2x
AWS footprint
1 person
on the customer side runs day-to-day infrastructure
Thousands
of dollars saved each month
The problem
EAP Expert builds software for the Employee Assistance Program industry. Small changes on its servers could cost thousands of dollars, so it moved to AWS, with one firm building the environment and another maintaining it. It needed deeper healthcare knowledge and advice on building for the future.
The scope
Review and correction of an existing AWS environment, then ongoing monitoring and advice.
What we did
- Found and fixed areas of the environment that needed additional configuration.
- Deployed Cloudticity Oxygen to monitor cost, availability, security, and compliance events.
- Assigned a Cloud Value Architect as an ongoing technical resource.
- Used automation and a savings plan to grow the environment while lowering the bill.
The result
EAP Expert doubled the size of its AWS footprint while handling day-to-day operations with a single infrastructure person, and saves thousands of dollars a month. It is now planning a move to cloud-native databases.
