Too often, IT financial management is falling short of what organizations need. Fragmented tools, siloed data, and workarounds are the new norm. Decades of piling on point solutions, patching processes, and relying on stand-alone reports have created systems that are slow, error-prone, and difficult to scale.
If you’re on ServiceNow, Proven Optics is the way forward. Natively developed on the platform where IT already resides, it gives you clarity, control, and automation—without the chaos of legacy tools or shadow systems.
Here’s why IT leaders are centralizing IT financial management on ServiceNow with Proven Optics:
1. Real-Time Financial Insights Without System Sprawl
The biggest hindrance to visibility is not a lack of data—it’s where data lives. With financials splintered into disjointed systems, it takes many sources to pull to have a clear picture of spend, reconcile discrepancies, and hope nothing was missed.
Proven Optics brings financial management directly into ServiceNow, by virtue of real-time operational data from IT Asset Management, CMDB, and related modules. No more delay and isolated systems; real-time visibility reflecting what’s happening in your world.
2. Full-Cycle Automation Without Relying on External Tools
Budgeting, forecasting, and chargebacks across numerous platforms introduce unnecessary friction. Manual processes are slow, error-prone, and difficult to audit—especially when the data is pulled from disconnected applications.
Proven Optics automates the entire ITFM lifecycle within ServiceNow. From budget creation to chargeback execution, workflows are streamlined and consistent. Everything happens in one place, without hopping between tools or re-entering data.
3. Align IT Spend with Business Outcomes
IT budgets should tell a story of value. But when financial data lives outside of operational systems, IT leaders struggle to connect spend to impact.
With Proven Optics, organizations can trace every dollar to the services and capabilities that drive business outcomes. This creates a clear line of sight between IT investments and strategic goals, helping stakeholders understand not just what IT spends—but why it matters.
4. Built on ServiceNow Means Built for Accuracy
Most ITFM tools require complex integrations to stay in sync with core IT systems. That creates version control issues, mismatched data, and additional overhead just to keep financials aligned with reality.
Proven Optics is built on the ServiceNow platform, using real-time data from native modules. That means accuracy is built in, and the financial model always reflects the current state of IT. Plus, users benefit from all the security features of ServiceNow.
5. Strengthen Collaboration Between IT and Finance
Disconnected systems drive a wedge between IT and Finance. Without shared data and real-time visibility, each team is stuck in its own workflow, leading to misalignment and missed opportunities.
Proven Optics brings both teams onto the same platform in ServiceNow. With unified data, standardized reporting, and real-time insights, IT and Finance can collaborate more effectively, adapt to budget shifts quickly, and jointly drive smarter, more strategic decisions.
6. Better Data, Better Investment Decisions
Fragmented systems produce fragmented insights. When IT leaders rely on partial data or outdated reports, long-term planning suffers—and investment decisions get driven by short-term pressure instead of business need.
Proven Optics enables proactive planning, scenario modeling, and continuous optimization—on the same platform where IT services are managed. With a clear picture of costs and consumption, leaders can invest with confidence and show measurable impact.
7. Trusted by Enterprises and Federal Agencies
Proven Optics is already driving ITFM transformation at scale across commercial and public sector organizations. With more than 100 successful implementations, the solution has helped IT teams:
- Streamline financial processes
- Improve forecasting accuracy
- Reduce manual effort
- Align IT spending with business priorities
These are results that disconnected point solutions and ad hoc reporting can’t deliver.
The Bottom Line: Financial Management Has Outgrown Patchwork Tools
Trying to run IT finance through a web of standalone tools, custom workarounds, and manual updates doesn’t work anymore. It’s slow, expensive, and lacks the visibility needed to for agile investment.
Proven Optics brings IT financial management into the ServiceNow platform—where operational data already lives, decisions are made, and teams are aligned.
This isn’t another tool to add to the stack: it’s how IT leaders are consolidating, simplifying, and leading with data that matters.
If you’re ready to move beyond the noise of disconnected systems, Proven Optics on ServiceNow is the way forward.
