AWS commitments,
underwritten.
Not undertaken.

EDP and PPA contracts are unforgiving — miss the commit and AWS claws back every dollar of discount. We help you forecast the right number, insure against shortfall, and — if you're already over your skis — negotiate the overage down.

Plan. Protect. Mitigate.

We meet you wherever you are in your AWS commit lifecycle — pre-signature, mid-term, or already underwater.

01 · Forecast

Plan a commitment you can actually hit

We model your 36-month AWS run-rate against revenue forecast, product roadmap, and seasonality — then size the EDP / PPA so the discount is real and the risk is bounded. Net new customers run this before signing.

Pre-signature · 4–6 week engagement →
02 · Insure

Shortfall insurance, underwritten

If your committed spend falls short, our insurance covers the clawback up to your policy limit. Premiums are a fraction of a percent of commit. Underwritten quarterly against your actual usage; no surprises.

In-term · annual renewable →
03 · Mitigate

Negotiate down an existing overage

Already in shortfall? We've renegotiated 30+ EDPs and PPAs — restructuring terms, redirecting eligible spend, and where appropriate, working directly with AWS on your behalf. Typical mitigation: 40–70% of the overage.

We were 18 months into a four-year EDP and tracking $2.3M short. BlueArch restructured the commit, recovered $1.6M of the overage, and underwrote the rest. The board went from a write-down conversation to a "well done" one.

FAQ

Common questions.

All engagements begin under NDA.

How does the insurance product actually work?+
A captive policy underwritten quarterly against your AWS usage. If, at the end of your EDP/PPA term, your committed spend is short of contract, the policy pays the gap up to the policy limit. Premiums scale with measured risk; you can lower them by tracking ahead of forecast.
What does "negotiate down an overage" mean?+
A combination of restructuring the contract (extending term, reallocating eligible spend categories), recovering eligible-but-unattributed spend (e.g. marketplace, partner-resold), and where appropriate, direct advocacy with your AWS account team. Success-fee based.
Are you an AWS reseller?+
No. We are an AWS Advanced Tier Partner but commit directly to you — your AWS contract remains a direct relationship. Independence is what lets us advocate for your side of the table.
What size commitments do you work with?+
$1M / year is the practical minimum for insurance to be cost-effective. Forecasting and mitigation engagements run smaller; the largest commit currently under management is $48M / 5 years.
How does this pair with BlueArch's engineering products?+
The CLI and Tag Manager improve the underlying spend efficiency — which is exactly what makes the insurance economical. Customers using both products see lower premiums and higher mitigation recoveries.

An NDA, a working session, a number you can defend.

Bring the current AWS run-rate, the commitment document, and your next board deadline. We will tell you where the risk sits.
