Optimising AWS Costs and Billing for Eseye
Eseye, a leader in IoT connectivity solutions and a major user of AWS and its many services to deliver pioneering IoT connectivity solutions, were looking for a partner to simplify billing and payment administration. Eseye turned to Cloud Bridge to help transform their cloud billing experience and achieve substantial AWS cost optimisation.
The Challenge: Untangling Complex Billing
Eseye encountered several challenges with their AWS billing process:
- Limited Payment Methods: AWS’s narrow payment options often caused processing failures, forcing frequent interactions with AWS support and wasting valuable time.
- Accounting Burden: Juggling multiple AWS invoices each month became cumbersome for Eseye’s accounts payable (AP) team, increasing workload and the risk of errors.
- Limited Cost Visibility: Without comprehensive cost-tracking tools, Eseye struggled to monitor AWS spending and identify potential cost anomalies.
The Solution: A Partnership with Cloud Bridge
Cloud Bridge stepped in with a tailored, innovative solution designed to simplify and optimise Eseye’s AWS billing and cost management:
- Flexible Payment Options: By accommodating Eseye’s preferred billing currency and payment method, Cloud Bridge eliminated processing failures and streamlined the payment process.
- Improved Cash Flow: With a 30-day payment term replacing AWS’s cash-on-demand model, Cloud Bridge provided Eseye with greater financial flexibility and better cash flow management.
- Simplified Billing: Consolidating all AWS charges into a single, monthly invoice eased the AP team’s workload, creating clarity and efficiency.
- Enhanced Cost Visibility: Cloud Bridge’s CloudHealth platform empowered Eseye with tools to track costs, detect anomalies, and gain deeper insights into cloud spending.
