We’re excited to announce that you can now import your own time-series cost or billing data into Ternary using our new Bring Your Own Data capability.

This feature allows you to import external data sources such as SaaS costs, data center spend, internal finance system outputs, revenue data, and more, and analyze them alongside your existing cloud integrations in a single, unified reporting experience.

How it works

Data can be ingested using one of the following methods:

• A cloud storage bucket
• A BigQuery table path

Once connected, your data will appear within the same dashboards, filters, and reporting views used for your native cloud spend.

Why it matters

This integration gives teams a broader view of organizational spend by combining cloud and non-cloud cost data in one place. It removes the need for disconnected spreadsheets or tools and helps finance, engineering, and operations teams align around a shared source of truth.

How to get started

To enable this feature, please contact Ternary Customer Success at success@ternary.app. 

For comprehensive setup instructions and supported ingestion formats, view our documentation article. 

We’ve introduced a new Variance Report chart type in Ternary Reporting. This view helps you quickly understand how recent spend trends compare to historical averages for the same time range.

Whether you're viewing the last 30 days by day, the last 90 days by week, or a full quarter by month, the Variance Report can show you which services, business units, or other dimensions of your choosing are trending higher or lower than expected.

Why it matters

This report makes it easier to:

• Spot emerging cost anomalies before they escalate
• Confirm the impact of cost optimizations
• Understand where and how spend patterns are shifting over time

You can use it to stay proactive and make faster, more informed decisions about cloud spend.

We’ve made several updates to the Billing Rules Engine to improve the rule-building experience and help you validate cost reallocations both before and after execution.

What’s new

Guided step-by-step flow. Rule creation is now organized into a structured process with clear stages: Details, Type, Source, and Destination. This improves clarity and makes complex reallocations easier to configure correctly.

Preview in report during setup. While building a rule, you can now preview source data in a report view. This helps you validate filters, groupings, and assumptions before saving the rule.

View impact after execution. Once a rule has been executed, you can view its impact directly in a report. This helps you understand how costs were reallocated and supports easier troubleshooting or refinement.

Improved reporting clarity. Reports now more clearly distinguish between reallocated and non-reallocated costs, helping improve transparency and trust in reporting results.

Why it matters

These updates improve discoverability, reduce setup errors, and give you better visibility into how your cost reallocation rules behave throughout their lifecycle. You can now validate logic during setup and easily analyze the impact of rules after they run.

The Ternary Optimization Hub is a new multi-cloud experience that simplifies how teams surface and act on savings opportunities across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud.

This centralized dashboard brings together usage, rate, and anomaly insights with interactive filters and KPIs to help you quickly identify high-impact savings across your environment.

Ternary already provides resource utilization recommendations by service and provider (for example, Compute → Azure Virtual Machines). With the Ternary Optimization Hub, these insights are now unified into two clear categories: idle recommendations and rightsizing recommendations. You can easily filter, refine, and drill into specific opportunities with greater clarity and control.

Looking ahead, we’ll be expanding the Ternary Optimization Hub to include commitment-based discount management. Rather than navigating the existing separate commitment pages for each cloud provider, you’ll be able to evaluate opportunities across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud in one place, while still retaining the ability to drill down by provider.

Stay tuned for more details! 

Why it matters

The Ternary Optimization Hub enables you to prioritize action more effectively, collaborate with better context, and unlock greater value from your multi-cloud spend.

The Ternary Billing Rules Engine, used by both managed service providers and customers, now displays the real-time processing status for each rule.

A new Status column has been added to the billing rules table to show whether a rule is:

• Active
• In progress
• Failed

This enhancement makes it easier to monitor rule execution and confirm successful processing directly from the user interface.

You can now create a support ticket directly from the picklist menu under your user profile.

As part of this change, the Support button previously located in the bottom-right corner of the platform has been removed. This update helps streamline access and keeps navigation consistent with other platform actions.

Ternary now supports Google Cloud’s Committed Use Discounts (CUD) Metadata Export, introduced by Google in July.

If your organization uses spend-based CUDs, enabling this export allows Ternary to ingest and display enhanced commitment insights. This includes commitment terms, expiration dates, and utilization data alongside your existing billing exports.

Learn how to enable this feature in our documentation article. 

We’ve introduced two new enhancements to Ternary MSP Billing Statements to improve usability and expand support for global partners.

What’s new

• Search by tenant name or ID. A new search filter makes it easier to locate specific customers. You can now quickly find your clients using either their tenant name or unique ID.
• Support for non-US addresses. Partner and client billing information now supports international formats. When "International" is selected in the country field, a freeform address field will appear, allowing entry of non-US billing details.

Why it matters

These updates help partners manage billing operations more efficiently, whether you're navigating a large list of tenants or serving clients outside the United States.

We’re introducing new controls that give MSPs more flexibility when configuring which Sub Accounts are assigned to each child tenant with shared billing. 

What’s new

Dimension-based account selection. During integration setup, you can now select cloud Sub Accounts using billing hierarchy dimensions such as:

• Sub Account ID or Name (Subscription, Project, Linked Account)
• Billing Parent Groups, including Azure Invoice Sections or GCP Folders / Ancestry Paths

Automatic inclusion of new Sub Accounts. When a higher-level billing parent is selected, any new Sub Accounts added under that parent are automatically included in the corresponding tenant. This reduces the need for manual updates.

Why it matters

These enhancements help MSPs:

• Align customer tenants with the native billing structure of their cloud environments
• Reduce maintenance by automatically capturing account changes
• Avoid unallocated or misallocated billing data across tenants
• Maintain clean, scalable, and accurate billing configurations across a growing customer base

Learn more in our documentation article.

We’ve added new time granularity controls to the table chart type in the Ternary Reporting Engine, giving you more flexibility in how data is displayed.

You can now change the time granularity in table charts to match your analysis needs. Choose from hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, or quarterly views directly in the chart configuration.
