Sally-Ann Creed used AWS to reduce manual IT work by 60%, enhance security, and maintain 100% patch compliance—all without expanding their lean tech team.

Automating Infrastructure for an SMB E-Commerce Leader

About the Client

Sally-Ann Creed is a South African SMB specialising in wellness and nutrition products. As an e-commerce-first business, their operations depend heavily on secure and reliable infrastructure to serve customers and manage transactions.

Client Challenge

Manual patching, reliance on insecure access protocols, and inconsistent administrative workflows created security gaps and inefficiencies. The lean IT team couldn’t keep up with maintenance demands without introducing automation and central visibility.

Partner Solution

Dudobi helped implement a secure, automated AWS environment. Patch management and system monitoring were automated, access was modernised using IAM policies, and infrastructure logs were centralised for compliance and governance. The solution also adopted cost-efficient storage and scalable compute to accommodate seasonal traffic.

Results and Benefits

The move to AWS transformed the way Sally-Ann Creed managed their AWS infrastructure:

  • 60% Operational Time Saved: Through automation of routine maintenance.
  • 100% Patch Compliance: With scheduled, automated patching.
  • Enhanced Security: Secure access policies replaced legacy methods.
  • Improved Team Focus: Internal teams now focus on business innovation, not infrastructure.

With these improvements, Sally-Ann Creed was able to focus more on delivering high-quality products and services to their customers, confident that their AWS environment was secure, compliant, and optimised for growth.
