Optimizing Cloud Costs & Efficiency for a Luxury Auto Manufacturer

Reengineering a Legacy Car-Label System for Cost Visibility & Efficiency

A leading European luxury car manufacturer needed to modernize its Monroney Printing Platform, a legacy car-labeling system used across North America. Their existing monolithic application lacked cloud cost visibility, scalability, and efficient management of shared services across multiple environments.

With the transition to a cloud-based infrastructure, the client required real-time cost breakdowns for different environments and microservices. Additionally, there were no business metrics in place to analyze spending trends and optimize unit economics.

To address these challenges, the client sought a modernized cloud solution with full cost transparency, real-time insights, and optimized resource utilization.
Migrated the mainframe-based system to a unified cloud platform for scalability and real-time processing.
Integrated AAVA-ICE FinOps tools to track, analyze, and distribute cloud costs by product, environment, and shared services.
Implemented an org chart rollup view to allocate cloud costs across different teams and stakeholders.
Enabled real-time cost distribution of shared cloud resources based on actual usage data.
Established business metrics for trend analysis and unit economics, improving forecasting and financial control.
