We manage your cloud commitments. More savings, less lock‑in.
Tenavant handles committed‑use discounts across AWS, Azure and Google Cloud for mid‑market companies. We work out what is worth committing to, you approve it, and we make the purchase. Nobody on your team has to become an expert in cloud pricing.
Why clients use us
Four things a budget owner actually cares about
-
Less risk
The deepest cloud discounts ask for a three‑year bet. If your usage changes, you keep paying for capacity you stopped using. We get you most of the discount without most of the bet.
-
Less headache
You approve the plan. We make the purchase, track what expires and when, and adjust as your usage moves. No one on your team needs to learn the difference between a Reserved Instance and a Savings Plan.
-
More flexibility
Commit for thirty days or a year instead of three. Revisit as your forecast changes, rather than living with a decision someone made two years ago.
-
More savings
We report what you actually saved after every fee, including ours. The number in the report is the number that reaches your bill.
Where the savings come from
A fourth option your cloud provider does not sell
Today every dollar of your cloud bill sits in one of three buckets. On‑demand, with no commitment and the highest rate. A one‑year commitment, for a real discount. Or a three‑year commitment, for the deepest discount and three years of exposure.
Most companies end up mostly on‑demand with a few one‑year commitments, because nobody can promise what the next three years look like.
We add a fourth option: a Tenavant guaranteed commitment, in thirty‑day and one‑year terms. Your exposure ends when your term does, so you are never left paying for the tail of a commitment you no longer need.
-
Move one: replace your one‑year commitments
Same one‑year term, same exposure, better rate. This one is purely an economics upgrade, and it applies to commitments you were going to buy anyway.
-
Move two: commit the spend you could not justify committing
Most on‑demand spend is not a choice. It is uncommitted because nobody could promise what the next twelve months hold. Thirty days is a promise almost anyone can make, and that is where the largest untapped saving usually is.
The one case where we tell you to buy native. A native three‑year commitment is the only thing that beats a Tenavant guaranteed commitment on rate. Where you are genuinely confident about three years of a given workload, that is what you should buy, and we will say so. We are happy to manage those for you too. They are part of the same portfolio and they still need tracking, renewing and revisiting.
How it works
Five steps, and you only do one of them
-
We look at what you spend
Across every account, in all three clouds, including the usage that is easy to forget about.
-
We recommend what to commit to
Which resources, what term, and what it saves. In plain language, with the reasoning shown.
-
You approve it in writing
Nothing is ever purchased without that. Your approval is the record, and it is kept.
-
We make the purchase
On your behalf, in your accounts. This is the part other people hand back to you.
-
We keep watching it
Renewals, expiries, and changes in your usage. You hear from us before a date matters, not after.
Who it is for
Real cloud spend, no FinOps team
If your cloud bill is large enough that commitment discounts are worth serious money, but not so large that you employ people whose whole job is managing them, that is the gap we fill.
We are not a dashboard and not a reseller. Your accounts stay yours, your relationship with AWS, Azure and Google is unchanged, and you keep paying them directly.
Start here
Send us one invoice
The quickest way to find out whether any of this is worth your time is to send us one recent cloud invoice. A single month, from any of the three clouds.
We will come back with three things: how much of your spend is sitting uncommitted, which commitments we would change first, and the rough scale of the opportunity. It is a first look, not a purchase plan, and we will be straight with you about what one invoice can and cannot show.
If it looks worth pursuing, the next step is a connected assessment. We deploy read‑only permissions in your cloud environment so we can see your actual usage rather than one month of totals, and put a much finer point on the number. Read‑only means exactly that: we can look, and nothing else. That step is free as well.
Neither step costs you anything, and neither requires a call. If the opportunity is too small to be worth doing, we will tell you that instead of selling you something.
