Story

Zensung offered an AI-enabled insurance application for better engagement to ease the process. However, streamlining recurring bills without hampering the overall performance of the app became a challenge for the brand. Also, a lot of dormant resources was created that made things challenging. And for that purpose, they hired us to streamline their existing operations with a robust cloud infrastructure and management, meeting customer expectations.

Challenge

Zensung didn’t had clarity on bill payments on their subscriptions. They were unable to understand how the deductions of subscriptions were made or, to be precise, for which service they were paying. This is why Zensung needed us to analyze the trend in the expenditure and also work on architecture diagram which they didn’t have in place.

Moreover, Zensung was actually undergoing AWS resource management difficulties due to improper infrastructure of the subscription. This added more pressure on the in-house team because harnessing data and delivering high-quality services became a milestone that needs to achieve at the earliest.

Solution

Cloud 9 did what it promised. We simply changed the game for Zensung by using our expertise and smart technology. Our dedicated team discovered the root cause of the problem, which was inadequate subscription model, cloud infrastructure for resource management and optimization of workload as well as expenditure. Our team went through a couple of bills to analyze the trend of expenditure and strategically eliminate dormant from the subscription process.

Results

In this way, the efficiency and performance of the app wasn’t affected and the brand was able to save 15% on their billing. Also, Cloud 9 believes in delivering quantifiable results, so we helped Zensung to save great huge amount on billing by optimizing the production environment smartly.

With the removal of dormant from subscription, Zensung was able to provide a clarity on payments of services from the subscription and enabled them to stay ahead in the competitive market. Also, we were able to streamline their workload and operational processes, reducing overall cost
