Customer
Tipalti is a finance automation platform that helps businesses streamline accounts payable (AP) processes, including invoice management, supplier payments, and more. With Tipaliti, businesses can automate, streamline, and manage their finances more cost-effectively.
Challenge
As Tipalti’s business grew rapidly—expanding to new products like Cards and Expenses—their AWS compute usage also increased by 20%. To optimize costs, the Senior Director of Engineering Operations at Tipalti managed commitments manually via traditional Compute Savings Plans, covering about 60% of usage. The manual process limited cost savings and consumed valuable team bandwidth. Tipalti needed an autonomous way to optimize costs without diverting engineering resources.
Solution
Tipalti chose ProsperOps for its fully autonomous rate optimization platform and ability to support both Linux and Windows environments. ProsperOps’ solution continuously adjusts commitments in real-time, optimizing for Effective Savings Rate (ESR)—a key rate optimization metric. Within months, Tipalti’s AWS compute ESR jumped from 9.2% to a steady 29-30%, positioning them in the top percentile of industry benchmarks. ProsperOps’ dynamic management of a portfolio of commitments also reduced Commitment Lock-In Risk, which provided more flexibility and allowed the infrastructure team to focus on higher-order FinOps initiatives. Onboarding was seamless, and the ProsperOps Console dashboards enabled clear reporting on optimization metrics.
