This collaboration helps Siemens Energy to continually improve its operations, maximize efficiency, and stay at the forefront of technology advancements within the AWS ecosystem.

"Initially, Siemens Energy relied on a third-party tool for visualizing the cost and usage of our AWS infrastructure. However, during an Enterprise Support Entitlement, specifically the Strategic Business Review, the Enterprise Support team introduced the CUDOS dashboard, providing in-depth, granular, and recommendation-driven insights tailored to our needs. Through a pilot deployment of CUDOS, further enhancements were made, including importing organization tags, implementing tag filtering, and configuring row-level security to ensure individual user data access restrictions. This helped us to autonomously share cost optimization best practices with service owners, resulting in CUDOS being deployed across 100 percent of the organizations.
As a direct result, Siemens Energy achieved remarkable cost savings, reducing expenses by 70% compared to our previous third-party tool. The implementation of CUDOS not only improved cost management but also enhanced efficiency and streamlined processes throughout Siemens Energy's operations."

This was even more impressive as we were the target for a massive DDoS attack that we detected and blocked in real time using AWS Shield Advanced and WAF technologies without impacting the live broadcast experience for our viewers.”

In 2020, PandaDoc, an all-in-one document automation software, achieved record growth as the world moved to more remote work and businesses had to figure out how to operate more efficiently. In order to meet the new demand for its software, including customers from new segments, PandaDoc quickly deployed more infrastructure and iterated on feature development, which created architectural artifacts that were not optimized for cost efficiency or performance. To tackle this problem, PandaDoc engaged Amazon Web Services (AWS) Enterprise Support in mid-2021 to help it facilitate future growth by adhering to best practices in cloud operations. With the central FinOps team and the cost-conscious architectural mindset in place, PandaDoc then set about to identify and take action on cost optimization opportunities. At this stage, an AWS technical account manager (TAM) worked with PandaDoc to deploy the Cloud Intelligence Dashboards (specifically the Trusted Advisor Organizational (TAO) dashboard and CUDOS), as part of the AWS Well-Architected Labs, to better visualize its cost and usage data as well as surface various cost optimization opportunities and impacts.

PandaDoc was able to use the dashboards to find and eliminate unused instances and to uncover new opportunities for compute savings plans. Making these changes increased its overall compute resource utilization up to 75 percent and resulted in another 20 percent in overall compute savings.

“The Cloud Intelligence Dashboard helped us visualize our Trusted Advisor flag checks alongside our AWS Cost and Usage Report. The visibility into our right-sizing recommendations and Amazon EC2 usage patterns enabled us to uncover so many opportunities to save costs without compromising performance or resiliency!. "

With Enterprise Support, TNG has biweekly meetings with its technical account manager (TAM) to seek recommendations on issues such as setting up an elastic IP address.

“Developers are happier because they can do more themselves, and if there are issues with coding or if they have any doubts, they can quickly get technical support. Management is also satisfied, because we have a more systematic way of approaching new projects. Management is equally pleased about the cost savings achieved, which are heightened through the use of an integrated AWS account with Enterprise Support.” TNG estimates a decrease of nearly 50 percent in the cost of running analytics on AWS compared to its previous data center. Looking ahead, TNG will continue to rely on Enterprise Support for guidance on new projects, such as building a virtual banking platform. "

Founded in 2013, Lalamove began as an app to place on-demand, same-day, and advanced-order deliveries by connecting customers with a fleet of drivers. Currently Lalamove’s on-demand logistics services serve 7 million registered users in more than twenty cities across the globe. When Lalamove revamped its workload on Amazon Web Services (AWS), it used AWS Support Enterprise Plan for 24/7 consultative architectural guidance, and took advantage of AWS Infrastructure Event Management (IEM) during both the Kubernetes and database migration.

“AWS technical account managers were very helpful in setting up a detailed migration plan. Because we have a lot of databases running behind the scenes, we had to migrate very carefully over a period of 3 months, performing a proof of concept for each database. Migration windows were short, usually overnight, so that business could be up and running with new databases by 6 a.m. the following day. The AWS Support team would be on standby and treated our migration as a priority. The planning, live support during migration windows, and post-migration monitoring were critical in quickly resolving any technical issues that arose. "

During the cloud migration, Advanced Intelligence Group used its designated Technical Account Manager (TAM), as provided in the enterprise Support plan, as a single point of contact.
