Airwalk Reply was selected as the lead delivery partner to design, build and run a greenfield, fully cloud-native digital platform to support the 750 users for a central government restoration project.
The client felt that they were overspending on their cloud resources, and that there were more modern, less expensive approaches that they could leverage. As part of a cost-saving initiative, the client wanted to reduce their cloud costs down from £50,000 per month to £35,000 or below.
The aim was to reduce unnecessary cloud expenditure and ensure the organisation’s budget was only spent on what was required. Additionally, it was felt that broader governance would prevent any overspending ongoing. This would free up vital taxpayer funds, which could be diverted towards other important projects.

Airwalk Reply also recommended the decommission of some services which were not being used, applying pressure and rationale within the business to ensure that the decommission would be completed swiftly.
Additionally, Airwalk Reply assessed user requirements and rationalised Azure DevOps licenses and role allocations to reflect these requirements, which incited further cost savings.
In a 3-month period, Airwalk Reply was able to significantly reduce cloud costs from £50,000 down to £34,000 per month (a 32% saving), achieving the target set by the client. These costs have remained stable, and are tracking month-on-month at below the forecasted rate. Any anomalies are detected and quickly resolved. A governance forum has also been implemented, with key parties available as required to drive decisions or discuss anything regarding cost or optimisation.
Additionally, has now increased their knowledge on FinOps as a whole, as well as gaining a better understanding organisation-wide of the importance of managing cloud costs. The significant cost savings can now be used to fund other vital projects.
