Public sector organisations often struggle to balance digital innovation with cost efficiency. The Natural Hazards Commission (NHC) tackled this challenge head-on, achieving remarkable results through strategic cloud optimisation.

Working with The Instillery, NHC transformed their cloud infrastructure through targeted improvements:

- Streamlined their codebase for better performance
- Shifted from IaaS to PaaS for enhanced security
- Implemented dynamic resource scaling
- Adopted proactive cost management practices

The results speak for themselves. NHC slashed their data platform expenses by 35% since 2022 while strengthening their security posture and improving system performance.
