Welcome to the April 2025 edition of our monthly blog series, where we spotlight a selection of Ternary’s latest FinOps innovations. In March, we launched Ternary for Public Sector and delivered key improvements to dashboards and MSP Customer Management settings. Our FinOps roundup for April 2025 introduces multi-currency support and showcases enhancements to forecasting, anomaly detection, and overall usability.
Purpose-built for FinOps, Ternary empowers organizations to establish cloud cost transparency, improve cost and usage efficiency, and foster communication between teams. Read on to see how our latest enhancements enable customers to maximize the value of their cloud investments and help partners scale their FinOps services.
Introducing multi-currency support (private beta)
Managing cloud costs across multiple regions can be complicated, especially when bills arrive in different currencies. To help solve this challenge, Ternary now offers multi-currency support, available in private beta.
This new feature enables Finance, Engineering, and FinOps teams, alongside managed service providers (MSPs), to view and report cloud spend. The format is consistent, regardless of billing region or cloud provider.
When your organization operates globally, currency mismatches can make it difficult to get a clear picture of cloud costs. Ternary’s multi-currency support allows you to:
- View cloud spend in your preferred currency
- Standardize reports across cloud providers and regions
- Simplify financial reporting and reduce confusion across teams
This update eliminates the need for manual conversions or offline calculations, streamlining cloud cost visibility for distributed teams.
Key features
- Preferred currency selection. Choose your display currency from a growing list of supported options.
- Automatic currency conversions. Ternary automatically applies monthly exchange rates to your cloud costs, providing accurate and consistent reporting.
- Audit log for transparency. All changes to your preferred currency settings are recorded, making it easy to track updates and maintain compliance.
- MSP-level control. MSPs can define a default reporting currency for all child tenants, ensuring consistency.
- Localized reporting across the platform. Dashboards, reports, and budgets reflect your selected currency, making it easier to analyze and communicate cloud spend across departments.
Start viewing your cloud costs in the currency that works best for your business. Ternary’s multi-currency support brings clarity and consistency to your global FinOps strategy. Learn more about Ternary multi-currency support in our documentation article.
Better data visibility with enhanced forecasting displays
We’ve enhanced Ternary Forecasting to give you greater control over how you view your data. You can now choose between two display modes to better match your analysis needs. Forecast with Lookback lets you see your forecast alongside historical data, providing valuable context to spot trends and patterns. Forecast Only offers a clean, forward-looking view, helping you focus exclusively on future projections, separate from past data.
With these new chart-display options, you can tailor your forecasting view to fit any situation. You can track performance with historical context or plan ahead with precision. Learn more about Ternary Forecasting in our documentation article.
Updates to Ternary Anomaly Detection: Smarter investigations, new controls, and enhanced insights
At Ternary, we’re continually improving our anomaly detection engine to make your cloud cost monitoring faster, smarter, and more efficient. Our latest update delivers powerful new capabilities designed to streamline investigations, give you more control, and surface critical insights faster.
Streamline investigations with linked cases
We’ve enhanced anomaly alerts to include direct links to any related existing cases. This makes it even easier to assess context, monitor related activity, and take immediate action—all within a single workflow. With linked cases, you can manage incidents more efficiently and reduce time to resolution.
Enhanced alert details for faster insights
Understanding what’s driving an anomaly is now quicker and easier in the Ternary Anomaly Detection alert details table. The table now highlights the top five results based on the configured groupings in your alert settings. If you haven’t defined a grouping, the table automatically shows the top five resources grouped by category and SKU description. This update surfaces the most relevant cost drivers instantly, so you can prioritize your response.
Take control with new rule-management options
Managing your anomaly detection rules is now more flexible. You can easily archive and unarchive rules, which is perfect for temporarily disabling monitoring while fine-tuning configurations. Archived rules remain in the platform without triggering alerts and can be reactivated at any time. Plus, admin and full-access users now have the ability to delete anomaly detection rules and events, giving you greater control.
Smarter alert thresholds to reduce noise
We’ve introduced a safeguard that requires users to set a minimum non-zero dollar amount when configuring relative threshold alerts. If no minimum is specified, a warning prompts you to enter one. This helps reduce notification “noise” caused by minor spending fluctuations. It also helps ensure that the alerts you do receive are truly actionable.
Together, these enhancements help you detect, investigate, and act on anomalies with greater confidence and speed. Learn more about Ternary Anomaly Detection in our documentation article.
Platform usability enhancements: Faster workflows, easier collaboration
At Ternary, we’re committed to making your experience as seamless and efficient as possible. Our latest platform updates are designed to help you work faster, multitask effortlessly, and collaborate more easily across your teams.
Open reports and dashboards in a new tab for more efficient workflows
We’ve made a small but powerful update to improve workflow options in Ternary. You can now open any report or dashboard in a new browser tab. That means greater flexibility to multitask and compare data side-by-side. Instead of navigating away from your current view, simply “right-click” (or “control-click”) the View Report or View Dashboard option to open in a new tab.
This enhancement makes it easier to work across multiple reports or dashboards at once. It also saves you time and helps you manage complex analyses more efficiently. You may be comparing usage amounts, analyzing cost data for the day of an anomaly, or monitoring several dashboards simultaneously. Whatever your task, this update streamlines your workflow and boosts productivity.
Shareable URLs for reports: Share insights instantly
Sharing reports in Ternary just got faster and simpler. You can now share any report instantly—without needing to save it first. As you build a new report or edit an existing one, Ternary captures your current report state directly in the URL. Just copy the link and share it with your team. Anyone who opens it will see exactly the same configuration you were working on. This update makes collaboration smoother, helping your team align quickly and take action based on shared insights.
Together, these enhancements make Ternary an even more user-friendly platform for collaborative and efficient cloud cost management. Learn more about reports and dashboards in the Ternary Documentation Hub.
