Per-cloud sprawl: down 60% via consolidation

Common security baseline across all 3 clouds

The challenge

A global conglomerate ended up on AWS + Azure + GCP through M&A. Each acquired entity brought a cloud preference; central IT had no leverage. Cost, security, and operational sprawl were all increasing.

What we built

Multi-cloud operating model: shared identity, observability, and security patterns across clouds; per-cloud cost attribution; a “best fit” workload placement framework. Central platform team owns standards; business units retain delivery autonomy.

Outcomes

Per-cloud sprawl: down 60% via consolidation
Cross-cloud cost reporting: real-time
Common security baseline across all 3 clouds
Business-unit autonomy preserved
