As the market uncertainty led to revenue declines, ErosSTX Global struggled to control costs while production and theatre operations slowed. The company needed to optimize its AWS spending but lacked the expertise to implement the best practices. To assess its infrastructure and reduce unnecessary costs, it sought a managed services provider with deep AWS technical knowledge.
Synoptek partnered with ErosSTX for managed services to analyze its AWS environment, reviewing security, reliability, usage, and costs. After assessing high-risk areas, we prioritized optimizations, enhancing security with anomaly detection and integrated threat intelligence. Through a well-architected review, the team identified inefficiencies and provided a roadmap for AWS cost savings and security improvements.
With AWS cost optimization and managed services, the media company was able to:
- Strengthen security to mitigate risks and enhance threat detection
- Scale resources automatically based on demand
- Decommission redundant websites and infrastructure to cut costs
- Establish cost and usage governance for better financial management
- Optimize pricing models to maximize AWS cost savings
- Reduce AWS spending by over 70% amid lower production and theatre closures
