Strategic FinOps Partnership for Cloud Cost Maturity

HARMAN and Ternary have partnered to transform enterprise cloud cost management. By integrating Ternary’s FinOps platform into HARMAN’s Managed Services, we deliver deep visibility, smart recommendations, and scalable automation.

With FinOps Certified Practitioners and FinOps Open Cost and Usage Specification (FOCUS) Analysts, HARMAN applies proven frameworks across hundreds of cloud environments to embed best practices and maximize ROI. Our BOTs identify cost-saving opportunities like unattached volumes and idle resources, while automation scripts auto-tag assets to enforce governance and compliance.
