## How Ternary works

The Ternary platform ingests cloud and customer-provided data to manage all technology spend. It integrates with tools you already use, such as Snowflake, Slack, and Jira, so teams can collaborate directly where they work. As an active contributor to the FinOps Cost and Usage Specification (FOCUS™), Ternary transforms complex billing and spend data into a simple, standardized schema for consistent analysis and decision-making.
