About
A buyer-side partner for cloud commitments.
Blueprint Advantage Group helps enterprise finance, IT and procurement leaders reduce cloud commitment shortfall exposure across AWS, Azure and Google Cloud, with clear economics and a named owner.
The firm
How we work.
Cloud commitments are negotiated by finance, consumed by engineering and rarely tracked against the software budget that sits next to them. We connect the three: we measure the gap, test which planned purchases can reduce it under your agreement, and coordinate the ones that make economic sense.
The firm is founder-led and based in Greater Houston, working with enterprises across the United States. Chuck leads every engagement. Specialists join for defined needs under his direction.
- A written scope before any work begins
- Fees that are fixed or success-aligned, and always disclosed in writing
- The eligibility basis for each purchase documented in writing before you buy
- A straight answer when the opportunity isn't worth pursuing
Your advantage
Inside experience, on your side of the table.
Chuck Sherrard spent years on the provider side of enterprise cloud, as a Delivery Executive at Google Cloud and a Practice Manager at Amazon Web Services. He knows how commitments are sized, how marketplaces and private offers work, and where enterprise budgets leak. Those were employee roles, and their outcomes are not presented as Blueprint Advantage client results.
Clients get that knowledge working for them:
- Contracts read the way providers read them. Commitment terms, eligibility rules and deadline mechanics, explained in plain language.
- Numbers your CFO can check. Forecast shortfall, credited contribution and net benefit after costs, in dollars.
- Delivery discipline. A written scope, a baseline and a named owner for every action.
- PMP
- PMI-CPMAI
- UC Berkeley Executive AI
- Google Cloud Generative AI Leader
AWS and Google Cloud are part of Chuck's prior career experience and do not endorse Blueprint Advantage Group.
