Cloud Migration Cost Optimization
Consolidating campus systems and scaling only during busy periods cut annual costs by 28%
Servers previously provisioned year-round for course-registration peaks were replaced with capacity that scales only when needed.

Challenges
- Traffic concentrated in the first 30 minutes of course registration, causing connection failures in previous years.
- Resources remained provisioned year-round despite limited use, making costs effectively fixed.
- The information center had only three staff and little capacity to manage a major operational change.
Our Approach
- Analysis of three years of access logs identified peak periods totaling 17 days each year.
- We scheduled capacity to scale up and down automatically only during those periods.
- We also proposed staggering registration opening times by faculty.
- Our managed services team took on most operations without increasing the workload of university staff.

"Their suggestion to stagger start times was just as useful as the technical changes." - Information Center
