Anodot has signed a strategic partnership with the global FinOps and TBM platform, YäRKEN.
Based in Auckland with a global customer base, YäRKEN provides innovative solutions across all of tech spend including legacy and cloud platforms.
Under the agreement, Anodot and Yarken will share technology to integrate it to give their customers the ability to manage both on-premises and private cloud cost from a single interface.
The collaboration with YäRKEN follows a series of successful deals and rapid sales growth of 300% since the beginning of 2024. Most recently, Anodot signed deals with MSPs including ACA Group, Automat-IT and UBTech earlier this year. Recent license changes and partner program restructuring at VMware has caused increased interest in Anodot as an alternative to VMware CloudHealth.
