Cutting $80k a year from an auto dealer group's infrastructure bill
The group was paying for cloud and licensing it had quietly outgrown the reasons for. We found the waste and removed it without taking a single system offline.
The Challenge
The group had grown by buying stores, and every acquisition brought its own servers, licenses, and cloud accounts. Nobody could say what all of it cost or which pieces were still in use. The monthly bill kept climbing and no single number explained why.
What We Did
We inventoried every account, server, and license across the stores, then matched each line to something the business actually used.
From there we consolidated the overlap, moved workloads onto right-sized infrastructure, and shut down what turned out to be paying for nothing. The changes went store by store so sales and service stayed up the whole time.
The Results
The group now spends about $80,000 a year less on infrastructure, with no loss of capability. The accounts that remain map to real usage, so the next person who reads the bill can tell what each line pays for.
