How Checkmate added 17% more savings on top of their existing AWS optimisation.
The challenge
Checkmate had already invested in cloud cost optimisation. They weren't starting from scratch — they wanted to know what additional savings were possible on top of their existing controls.
Finding incremental savings after initial optimisation is harder: the easy wins are gone, and further reduction requires precision commitment management.
"We thought we'd already optimised our AWS spend. The managed commitment approach found another 17% we'd left on the table."Matthias Brooks — Director of DevOps, Checkmate
The outcome
By extending managed commitment coverage, Checkmate captured an additional 17% in savings on top of their existing optimisation baseline. The programme identified coverage gaps their current approach had missed.
For companies that have already done the first pass of cost optimisation, managed commitments represent a meaningful second wave of savings — without additional engineering investment.
