Savings Plan

Archera and ALIANDO Team Up to Take the Risk Out of Azure Commitments

ALIANDO customers can now access Archera's Insured Commitments, so Azure Reserved Instance and Savings Plan discounts no longer come with overcommitment risk.

I kept thinking “we have heard this cost visibility, cloud tagging and attribution story one too many times.” For me, the game changing moment was when Aran began talking about reducing risk, proactive planning, and creating a secondary marketplace.

The News

Archera, the cloud financial management platform behind Insured Commitments, today announced a partnership with ALIANDO, a global Microsoft solutions partner recognized among the top 1% of Microsoft Solutions Partners and Ingram Micro's largest Azure Expert MSP. The partnership brings Insured Commitments to ALIANDO's 1,000+ customers across 60+ countries, adding a savings guarantee to ALIANDO's existing FinOps practice.

‍

Why It Matters

ALIANDO's FinOps practice already helps customers find where Azure spend is under-committed. Until now, acting on those findings meant taking on a long-term commitment that might not match future usage. That's the gap Archera fills.

  • Commit with a guarantee. Insured Commitments come with a Rebate Guarantee. If usage comes in below what was committed, Archera pays back the underutilized portion automatically, every month.
  • No engineering lift. No changes to existing Azure environments.
  • Pay only when it saves. Archera is free to start. A premium applies only when a commitment actually generates savings.

What They're Saying

"Helping organizations maximize the value of their cloud investments has always been central to our FinOps strategy. While Azure commitments can deliver significant savings, many organizations are understandably cautious about taking on long-term commitments in a rapidly changing environment. By partnering with Archera, we're giving our customers a unique way to capture those savings opportunities with greater confidence, reduced risk, and stronger financial outcomes."

Chris Savage, Chief Technology Officer, ALIANDO

‍

"Most teams already know where they could save on Azure. What stops them is the risk of committing to usage that might not be there next year. With ALIANDO, we're removing that risk, so their customers can act on savings with confidence."

Tobey Amy, Director of Partner Development, Archera
