Title: From Server Farm to Cloud Savings Tagline: From Server Farm to Cloud Savings: How the High-Low Method Cut Tech Executive's Hosting Costs by $75,000 Annually Problem: John, a 55-year-old CTO at a rapidly growing SaaS company, is preparing for retirement. His compensation package includes a substantial amount of Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) that will vest over the next few years. John suspects the company's cloud hosting costs are unnecessarily high but lacks a clear breakdown of fixed versus variable expenses to justify a migration strategy. He needs a reliable way to analyze past spending and project future savings to present a compelling case to the CFO and maximize the company's profitability (and ultimately, the value of his RSUs) before he retires. Solution: By utilizing the High-Low Method Calculator, John can quickly determine the fixed and variable components of the cloud hosting costs. He collects data on monthly server usage (measured in terabytes) and corresponding monthly hosting bills over the past year. The calculator reveals the fixed cost component (base server infrastructure) and the variable cost per terabyte of data used. Armed with this information, John can then project the cost savings associated with migrating to a more efficient cloud architecture and renegotiating service contracts. ROI: Using the High-Low Method Calculator, John determined the company was paying $15,000 monthly in fixed server costs and $100 per terabyte of data used. By migrating to a more optimized cloud solution and leveraging his negotiation skills, John projected to reduce the variable cost to $60 per terabyte and decrease the fixed costs by $2,500. This translated to a projected savings of $75,000 annually, significantly improving the company's profitability and increasing the value of his RSUs. The project’s success burnished his legacy within the company and secured his reputation for savvy financial leadership.
