Maximizing Value, Minimizing Costs: CyTek Transforms Safe Haven’s Cloud Infrastructure

How Safe Haven Protects Kansas City

When it comes to protecting Kansas City homes, Safe Haven doesn’t cut corners. As an ADT-authorized dealer recognized on the Inc. 5000 list, they take their commitment to safety seriously.  

But when they noticed their Microsoft Azure costs were spiraling without a corresponding benefit, they recognized a vulnerability they couldn’t ignore. So, they called CyTek to optimize their cloud environment for maximum value. 

Cutting the Dead Weight

As their business expanded, so did Safe Haven’s tech footprint—but not always in ways that added value. They were racking up Azure charges for systems they didn’t use and costs they didn’t need, with no time or internal resources to dig into the root of the issue.  

The ask was simple but critical: Safe Haven needed a sharp, lean Azure setup that cut out the dead weight and maximized every dollar spent. No fluff, no waste—just a high-performance cloud, custom-fit to their business needs. 

A 90-Day Game Plan

We kicked off with a detailed 90-day overhaul plan, diving headfirst into Safe Haven’s Azure environment to get to the bottom of every charge and every server. Week by week, we worked directly with the Safe Haven team, updating them on our findings and fine-tuning our strategy based on real-time insights. We wanted to create a cloud solution that aligned with Safe Haven’s operations. 

Immediately, we found multiple areas ripe for optimization. There were outdated servers hogging resources, redundant systems Safe Haven wasn’t even using, and hidden charges they hadn’t anticipated.  

Every piece of data painted a clearer picture of where Safe Haven’s budget was leaking, and we wasted no time making the necessary cuts. By stripping away the unnecessary, we freed up resources Safe Haven could invest elsewhere. 

Streamlining Performance, Maximizing Value

The results were transformative. Within those 90 days, we eliminated charges for all unused resources. We zeroed in on a $2,000 monthly cost for a service they’d barely touched and countless other line items draining their budget.  

Safe Haven saw the difference almost immediately, with a leaner, tighter cloud infrastructure that didn’t sacrifice performance. 

“We saved over $150,000 by switching to CyTek, and that was just in 30 days,” said Marc Spellman at Safe Haven. The work we did empowered them to focus on what matters most: protecting the families of Kansas City. 

Safe Haven’s success underscores our commitment to deliver tailored solutions. We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all tech because we know every business has unique challenges and goals.
