Challenge: Cloud operations in the dark

As Uffizio scaled its portfolio of GPS and IoT products, its cloud environment grew in complexity. This growth introduced challenges in financial governance and operational visibility. The company faced escalating cloud costs with limited insight into how specific services or products contributed to the overall spend. Without a centralized framework for cost accountability, optimizing expenditure was difficult.

Furthermore, inconsistent security and operational practices across DevOps teams created potential risks. Leadership recognized that to continue its success, it needed to transform its cloud operations from a variable cost center into a predictable, value-driven engine. They sought services and solutions to help establish clarity, implement accountability, and align their cloud infrastructure directly with business objectives.

Solution: Bringing clarity to the cloud

To help Uffizio address these challenges, Bosch Mobility Platforms and Solutions, a strategic AWS partner, designed and implemented a comprehensive AWS Managed Services program. This program focused on achieving financial governance and operational excellence through three key pillars:

1. Bringing cloud spend into focus with FinOps practices

First, Bosch Mobility Platforms and Solutions set up a centralized FinOps framework to give Uffizio clear visibility into cloud costs. Using Amazon QuickSight, we built custom dashboards that provided a single view of spending across services, teams, and products. This made it easy to spot opportunities to save, like shutting down idle Amazon EC2 instances or right-sizing underused resources - without affecting performance.

2. Making cost accountability part of everyday operations

Next, Bosch Mobility Platforms and Solutions put proactive cost governance in place and make financial accountability part of daily operations. This included implementing AWS Budgets with automated alerts and a mandatory resource tagging strategy. This enabled Uffizio to track costs in a structured way and make decisions based on real data. Leadership could now forecast costs reliably and see exactly how cloud investments supported each business unit.

3. Turning cloud operations into a driver of business value
Beyond cost management, Bosch Mobility Platforms and Solutions helped Uffizio use their cloud more strategically, by aligning cloud usage with business goals. We established security baselines and guardrails using AWS Config, AWS GuardDuty, and AWS Security Hub to proactively manage risks and stay compliant. This allowed Uffizio to connect platform performance directly to customer outcomes, turning cloud operations from a cost center into a strategic asset.

Results: Cloud operations, reimagined

This approach helped Uffizio shift their cloud operations from a reactive cost center to a strategic growth engine. With a structured FinOps and governance framework in place, Uffizio saw clear, measurable results:

• Reduced monthly cloud spend by 5% by eliminating idle EC2 instances and optimizing underused resources, delivering direct ROI.
• Gained 100% cost visibility and accountability by implementing a mandatory resource tagging strategy and using Amazon QuickSight dashboards to track spend across teams and services.
• Enabled DevOps teams to see real-time spend data, allowing them to self-manage resources within defined budgets.
• Standardized guardrails and continuous compliance checks improved security and reduced operational risk.
• Enabled leadership to make proactive, data-driven decisions and plan confidently with predictable forecasts.

With Bosch Mobility Platforms and Solutions, managing the cloud became more than just controlling costs for Uffizio - it helped them improve operations, strengthen security, and support their mission to deliver innovative GPS and fleet management solutions globally.
