Our take
As businesses increasingly move their data and processing power off premises, finance teams must ensure cloud spending remains in budget. However, collaboration with engineers to manage cloud usage can prove difficult, with anomalies often addressed after they have occurred. Ternary’s Google Cloud native tool connects finance and engineer teams to one another, and provides automation for collaboration.
Ternary was founded in 2020 in response to the founders’ first-hand challenges getting engineering and finance teams to collaborate on cloud spend. Its platform combats reactive management of variable cloud spending by empowering engineers to make informed cloud-cost decisions, and also giving finance teams context for where their cloud budget is being spent. To date, it has managed over $7 billion in cloud spend, realising $1.5 billion in savings for its customers.
The company has over 100 active enterprise customers and is FinOps Foundation certified. It is riding the AI wave by adopting the new technology to predict business cloud needs, automatically generating actionable insights around cost reductions and anomalies.
