Proven Optics, a leading provider of IT Financial Management (ITFM) solutions, has been named an Emerging Vendor in Gartner’s 2025 Market Guide for IT Financial Management Tools. This recognition highlights the company’s innovative approach to modernizing financial management, enabling organizations to optimize IT spending and make data-driven budgeting decisions through its AI-enhanced Financial Management Application Suite on the ServiceNow platform.
Gartner’s 2025 Market Guide for IT Financial Management Tools emphasizes the growing need for ITFM solutions as CIOs face challenges in optimizing IT spend, justifying budgets, and securing funding for new projects. Proven Optics addresses these needs with its Financial Management Application Suite, built on the ServiceNow platform. The suite integrates advanced AI capabilities, including an AI Assistant for task automation, an AI Analyst for real-time insights, and an AI Consultant for strategic planning, enabling IT and finance leaders to align investments with business goals using predictive analytics and generative AI.
Founded in 2020, Proven Optics has rapidly gained traction, bolstered by a 2022 growth investment from Silversmith Capital Partners and a 2023 strategic investment from ServiceNow. The 2024 acquisition of CloudGenera further strengthened its cloud financial management capabilities, addressing the rising demand for effective FinOps practices amid increasing cloud and AI-related costs. These milestones have positioned Proven Optics to deliver scalable, user-friendly tools that simplify complex budgeting and forecasting processes.
“Our mission has always been to simplify and elevate how organizations manage IT financials,” said William Miller, Founding Partner & Co-CEO of Proven Optics. “To be named an Emerging Vendor by Gartner reinforces the impact our solutions are having in helping CIOs and finance teams navigate today’s financial complexities.” Agnes Lundqvist, Proven Optics Product Owner at Hitachi Owner, noted, “This tool is an enabler for more. It has opened our minds to new possibilities and set the stage for accelerated growth.” Hitachi Energy, a client, reduced its budgeting cycle from six to three months, allowing finance teams to focus on high-value tasks.
“Our continued collaboration with ServiceNow allows us to jointly deliver high-value financial capabilities directly within the platform that many enterprises already use,” said Ben Perkins, Founding Partner & Co-CEO of Proven Optics. This integration enhances the suite’s ability to provide actionable insights, streamline reporting, and support FinOps initiatives, making it a vital tool for enterprises managing IT financials in a dynamic technological landscape.
Proven Optics’ recognition as an Emerging Vendor in Gartner’s 2025 Market Guide underscores its role as a leader in ITFM, delivering innovative, AI-driven solutions that empower organizations to optimize IT investments, enhance financial transparency, and drive strategic growth.
