What lock-in looks like

The problem
Azure discounts make you bet on a forecast
Autonomous tools save you effort by taking the wheel: they buy, sell, and hold commitments for you, then bill a percentage of the savings, indefinitely, often including commitments you already had.
Archera takes the other path. Keep control, keep the savings, guarantee the downside.
What it is
Guaranteed Savings Plans and Reserved Instances
GSPs and GRIs are Azure commitments with Archera’s guarantee built in. Commit for as little as 30 days instead of one to three years. If usage drops, the Rebate Guarantee pays you back for what you don’t use.

Proof
Hypergrowth needs commitments that flex
Checkmate powers cloud-based ordering for restaurants, and their Azure footprint moves as fast as they grow. Their previous tool only bought rigid one and three-year reservations. With Archera they commit short-term across their fast-moving Azure services, and the Rebate Guarantee covers any overcommitment when usage shifts.

We’re a hypergrowth startup, so we’re making a lot of enhancements and evolving quickly. Archera’s Guaranteed Commitment model allows us to really decompose and LEGO-block-build our cost savings approach. Archera has shifted the landscape for our cost savings, cost visibility, and overall long-term cost strategies.
