Partners Can Now Unlock Demand and Fund Transformation With Integrated Assessments and Commitment-Based Savings

BELLEVUE, WASHINGTON / ACCESS Newswire / June 3, 2025 / CoreStack, the global leader in AI-powered multi-cloud governance, and Archera, the only provider of flexible cloud commitment automation and insurance, today announced a strategic alliance that reimagines how cloud partners surface opportunities and secure funding for customer innovation.

The partnership combines CoreStack's comprehensive governance and assessment frameworks with Archera's automated cloud discount lifecycle management - enabling a complete insight-to-execution workflow for cloud cost optimization across AWS and Azure. Together, they remove two of the most persistent blockers for cloud service providers and their customers: identifying optimization opportunities and funding their execution without disrupting infrastructure or increasing risk.

"FinOps maturity has evolved - it's now a business lever to act with intelligence and speed," said Suren Singh, CRO of CoreStack. "Together with Archera, we're helping enterprises govern costs more strategically, act faster, and turn efficiency into real business impact."

From WAFRs to Wallets: A Fully Integrated Optimization Lifecycle

Cloud partners - including MSPs, consultants, GSIs, and distributors - often surface valuable optimization opportunities through frameworks like WAFRs, FTRs, and custom best-practice assessments. However, the budget to act on those findings can be elusive. That's where this collaboration excels.

CoreStack provides deep, automated insight into a customer's multi-cloud environment - from cost efficiency to security and performance. Archera complements this with a no-cost platform that automates the purchase, modification, and protection of cloud commitments. Customers gain instant savings of up to 70% - not through complex architectural changes, but through intelligent financial optimization.

Archera's flexible commitment model shrinks lock-in periods from three years to as little as 30 days and includes optional commitment insurance. This enables customers to capture discounts even for unpredictable or short-lived workloads, such as generative AI training runs, temporary R&D environments or cloud migrations.

"CoreStack's assessment and governance capabilities make them a natural fit as an Archera Partner," said Aran Khanna, CEO of Archera." By combining their multi-cloud visibility with our insured commitment execution, we're helping organizations and partners drive cost efficiency, accelerate decision-making, and fund modernization immediately."

Driving Business Value Across the Cloud Lifecycle

This joint solution is already accelerating time-to-value for partners by enabling them to:

• Expand service offerings to include both assessment and execution

• Align more closely with Microsoft and AWS incentive models

• Drive measurable FinOps outcomes while fueling customer innovation

Crucially, it helps end customers turn cost savings into reinvestment - funding modernization, AI adoption or additional managed services, all while reducing operational risk.

Customers with transient, R&D-heavy or unpredictable usage patterns - previously shut out of commitment-based savings - can now participate in a smarter, more flexible cloud economy.
