Meet Paradox Interactive

Paradox Interactive is a globally recognized game publisher known for its profound, strategy-driven experiences. With hit franchises like Crusader Kings, Cities: Skylines, Europa Universalis, Stellaris, and Hearts of Iron, the company delivers immersive, long-lasting games millions worldwide enjoy.

Kim Wahlsten, Cloud Operations Manager at Paradox Interactive, oversees the infrastructure that powers these games. His team ensures that the cloud platforms supporting development and live game operations remain efficient, scalable, and cost-effective.

The Challenge

Managing cloud infrastructure at scale comes with significant challenges, particularly in understanding and controlling costs. Paradox Interactive sought greater visibility into its cloud spend to optimize resources effectively. The team needed a solution to provide clear insights into usage patterns, enabling informed decision-making and better financial planning.

What we did

Initially working directly with AWS, Paradox Interactive was introduced to DoiT during discussions about cloud commitments. After evaluating its options, Paradox partnered with DoiT, recognizing the value of a relationship built on transparency and collaboration.

DoiT Cloud Intelligence provides Paradox with a comprehensive view of all cloud services in a single dashboard. By integrating FinOps tools, the team gained real time cost visibility, enabling them to track spend, optimize resources, and eliminate inefficiencies.

Through close collaboration, DoiT worked alongside Kim and his team to align solutions with Paradox’s goals, ensuring its cloud infrastructure remained cost-efficient and high-performing.

The results

Enhanced Cost Transparency
Paradox Interactive now has a clear view of cloud costs, allowing for better financial planning and resource allocation.

Optimized Resource Utilization

Stronger Strategic Partnership
Working closely with DoiT, Paradox has built a relationship based on trust, transparency, and shared objectives.

By partnering with DoiT, Paradox Interactive has transformed its approach to cloud cost management, ensuring that resources are optimized to support its ever-growing portfolio of games.
