We're excited to share an important platform enhancement coming to Ternary!

To better align with industry standards and streamline cloud cost management workflows, Ternary is adopting the FOCUS schema across all areas of our platform.

What's changing?

You will start seeing new field names and terminology in the platform’s user interface (UI). For example:

• Project Name → Sub Account Name
• Project ID → Sub Account ID

Please access the Ternary Documentation Hub for a full reference guide, mapping all current naming conventions to the new FOCUS conventions.

What you need to know

• Cosmetic update first: This initial change affects presentation only. The underlying data will continue to use Ternary's existing schema. This phased rollout gives you time to get comfortable with the new terminology before we fully transition.
• Future full cutover: Later this year, we’ll fully transition to the FOCUS-aligned data structure and deprecate the old Billing data source.
• No immediate action required: Your current integrations, automations, and reports will continue to work as-is throughout the transition period.

Timeline

• May 12, 2025: Tenants will be opted-out of FOCUS by default. Administrators will have access to an opt-in/out toggle to switch between the existing naming conventions and FOCUS naming conventions. 
• May 26, 2025: Tenants will be opted-in to FOCUS as the default naming convention. You’ll still have the ability to toggle between the existing naming conventions and FOCUS naming conventions as needed. 
• June 9, 2025: The Ternary platform UI will fully transition to FOCUS.
