Recordsure reports total Azure production costs at 25% of one bank’s former monthly cloud cost

WorkingVendor's case studyVendor ↗

Problem

The UK software firm ran two separate technology stacks with two engineering teams and two sets of data scientists. That made sharing resources hard and raised costs.

Approach

The firm moved everything to Azure under Project Unity, from virtual machines to Azure Kubernetes Service. It added Azure AI Speech, AI Search, OpenAI and Machine Learning, and runs GPUs on demand inside each customer's environment.
