Welcome to the December 2024 edition of our monthly blog series, highlighting Ternary’s latest FinOps enhancements. Our FinOps roundup for December 2024 features key enhancements for our managed service provider (MSP) partners. These include the new MSP Bill Splitting feature and updates to MSP Dashboard views. 

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 discover how our featured November enhancements help partners scale their FinOps services business.

Introducing MSP Bill Splitting

We’re excited to announce the launch of Ternary MSP Bill Splitting. We designed this powerful new feature to help MSPs easily separate billing data for each end customer. It not only streamlines billing operations; it also benefits both customers and partners by providing more accurate reporting and cost transparency. 

Previously, the Ternary Operations team assisted partners to separate billing data. Now, we’ve made this process more accessible, allowing you to create or update shared integrations in just a few clicks. To get started, simply navigate to MSP Customer Management from the left-hand menu. Next, select the customer you want to set up a shared integration for. Then click Manage Tenant from the ellipsis menu to access the Bill Splitting feature. Streamline your cloud billing operations today with Ternary’s MSP Bill Splitting. For a step-by-step guide, check out our documentation article.

Enhanced MSP Dashboard views

Partners rely on the Ternary MSP Dashboard to streamline and optimize their FinOps services, driving greater operational efficiency. To support their continued success, we’re constantly improving the dashboard’s capabilities. This month, we’re excited to introduce key updates to the Savings and Integrations views, delivering better value to our partners.

Savings

We’re continuously improving the MSP Dashboard Savings view to help you optimize cost management more effectively. In October, we added advanced filtering capabilities; in November, we introduced new Savings KPIs. This month, we’re excited to roll out a major update: aggregated savings recommendations by tenant. 

Previously, we shared usage and rate optimization recommendations in separate rows for each tenant. Now, we’ve grouped recommendations by tenant, providing you with a cleaner, more streamlined view. This update makes it easier to navigate and focus on the insights that drive cost savings and efficiency.

Integrations

We’re excited to announce updates to the MSP Dashboard’s Integrations view. These improvements make managing cloud integrations more efficient and user-friendly for our partners. In the past, for every tenant, the table displayed each cloud integration in a separate row. With this update, we’ve grouped cloud integrations by tenant, providing a cleaner, more organized view.

Here’s what’s new:

  • Summarized view: See all cloud integrations associated with a tenant in a single row, making it easier to quickly spot issues and take action. 
  • Tooltips: Hover over each integration to view important details, such as the last refresh date and current status.
  • Expandable rows: Click to expand individual rows and access detailed information about each integration when necessary.

For our partners, this update brings significant benefits. It enhances your ability to monitor and support your customers while improving your overall operational efficiency. This frees up more time for you to focus on growing your business.

The Ternary team is dedicated to helping our customers and partners throughout their FinOps journey. Stay tuned for next month’s product enhancements. In the meantime, you can learn more about Ternary or request a demo.
