Ternary Enhances FinOps Platform with FOCUS, Labels & Multi-Currency
Ternary, a leading FinOps platform for multi-cloud and SaaS environments, today announced major product enhancements that give FinOps teams greater precision, flexibility, and global cost visibility. Highlights include full support for the FinOps Open Cost and Usage Specification (FOCUS™) billing format, next-gen custom label capabilities, and multi-currency reporting.
Powering Open Cost Visibility with FOCUS Integration
Ternary has helped shape FOCUS since April 2023 and was among the first to adopt the format following its November 2023 release. Today, the platform fully supports FOCUS as its primary cost data model, enabling:
- More accurate, queryable billing insights
- BYO-data architecture: ingest FOCUS-formatted files from AWS, GCP, SaaS, or native billing exports
- Auto-mapping of legacy billing files to the FOCUS format for backward compatibility
- Cross-cloud, consistently categorized queries
“FOCUS is a breakthrough in cost transparency,” said Joshua Kwan, Ternary’s CTO & Co-founder. “We’ve worked to make FOCUS reflect real-world FinOps needs—delivering clearer insights across Cloud+ environments.”
Built-in column descriptions, faster ingestion, and structured FOCUS support streamline multi-cloud reporting and unlock true cost clarity across platforms.
Next-Gen Custom Labels: Organize Costs Your Way
Ternary’s upgraded Custom Labels feature allows FinOps teams to:
- Create new cost dimensions from existing labels or custom labels
- See updates reflected across the platform within minutes, not hours
- Easily manage everything via both API and UI
The result: faster cost attribution, streamlined workflows, and real-time control over how cloud spend is modeled—critical for enterprises managing thousands of cost centers and projects.
Global Reporting with Multi-Currency Support
Ternary now supports 200+ global currencies, letting teams track cloud spend in local denominations like EUR, GBP, JPY, and AUD.
Features include:
- Automatic exchange rate conversion using monthly FX data
- Audit logs for currency configuration tracking
- MSP-friendly defaults for managing global tenants
“Ternary’s multi-currency support is a game-changer,” said Paul Venter, Professional Services Executive at iOCO UK. “Cloud cost management is now more transparent, intuitive, and global.”
Building the Future of Cloud+ FinOps
These innovations reinforce Ternary’s mission to be the open platform for variable tech spend management, supporting ingestion from any cost source and modeling based on real usage, financial, and business data.
“We’re building tools for tomorrow’s FinOps leaders,” said Sasha Kipervarg, CEO of Ternary and Governing Board member at the FinOps Foundation. “Our latest release reflects our long-term commitment to accuracy, accountability, and actionability in Cloud+ spending.”
