EVRi drives down the cost of leading-edge security through AWS Marketplace
Project at a Glance
Evri worked with Softcat to reduce the cost and complexity of its cybersecurity while maintaining a high level of protection across its AWS environment. By renewing its existing CrowdStrike service through AWS Marketplace, Softcat helped Evri unlock greater commercial value, streamline procurement, and strengthen security operations through a managed, cloud-based solution.

Challenge
With operational costs rising, Evri needed to consolidate essential IT services and reduce spend without compromising security. Its existing managed security agreement with CrowdStrike was due for renewal, creating an opportunity to explore a more cost-effective procurement route while continuing to protect a business-critical AWS environment.
Critical Success Factors:
1
Smarter security spend
Consolidate services and drive down costs.
2
Seamless security continuity
Renew existing cybersecurity agreement with Crowdstrike.
3
Maximum value from AWS investment
Reduce expenditure through Enterprise Discount Programme.
Solution
Building on a long-standing partnership, Softcat worked closely with Evri’s security and procurement teams to identify the most effective approach. By renewing CrowdStrike through AWS Marketplace, Softcat enabled Evri to benefit from Enterprise Discount Programme savings while implementing a managed, AI-driven security service. The recommended CrowdStrike OverWatch solution reduced complexity for internal teams while delivering enterprise-grade threat detection and response.
- In depth discussion to scope fit-for-purpose solution
- Market-leading, AI-driven threat and vulnerability protection
- Minimised cost and complexity for in-house IT team
Results
Procuring CrowdStrike via AWS Marketplace allowed Evri to maximise value from its AWS commitments and reduce ongoing security costs. Automated threat detection and the reduction of false positives enabled internal IT teams to focus on genuine risks. Deployed across the full AWS platform, the solution improved operational efficiency while strengthening protection against evolving cyber threats.
- High performing security solution
- Elimination of false positive detections
- In-house IT team free to concentrate on responding to confirmed threats
Softcat's own Security Team and Account management team made the whole process of negotiations and procurement very simple and swift.
