Yarken
What it is
Yarken combines AI Economics, Technology Business Management (TBM), and FinOps to give enterprises visibility across cloud, SaaS, infrastructure, and AI spending. It connects AI usage, cost, and ownership to business value, including cost per request, seat, workload, and outcome. Cost workflows include budgeting, forecasting, allocation, anomaly detection, unit economics, showback, and chargeback. Ask Yarken accepts natural-language questions and returns structured observations, root causes, and recommendations. Listed connections include AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, and systems for SaaS, ERP, identity, HR, data, observability, and ITSM. Data can be ingested through APIs, SFTP and files, cloud buckets, local agents, webhooks and streaming, or query federation. Advanced integrations are not enabled by default and can vary by environment; required connections are enabled during implementation or onboarding. Yarken offers single-tenant deployment options and customer choice of data location. It states that it has SOC 2 Type II audited controls and supports GDPR-regulated environments, role-based access, and encryption at rest and in transit. Pricing is custom; module access depends on the organization's license.
