A growing IT expense challenge
Many organizations are facing increased reliance on technology alongside a consistent need to reduce IT budget.

Singular platform for all IT expense data (mobile, fixed & cloud)
Most TEM providers have acquired different software companies over the years, leaving customers with a fragmented experience using different pieces of software for various expenses. With brightfin, everything is built on one platform, which allows senior IT and Finance leaders to get full visibility of IT expenses, allocations, and more.

brightfin is “Built on Now,” which means its core code base is natively integrated with the ServiceNow platform. Whether you use ServiceNow or not, you can take advantages of the benefits of being Built on Now, such as fast implementations, a unified user experience, and automated workflows to improve efficiency.
IT Finance Management (ITFM) capabilities
With the growing complexity of technology, many organizations are challenged with IT Finance Management costs that are scattered in multiple systems. Further, these various systems often measure costs in different ways.
brightfin centralizes data through automated processes to provide a complete picture of the total cost and value of IT services including allocations and charge backs.

Advanced workflow engine
Many TEMs say they have automated workflows to help you improve efficiency. But when you really dig in, you find that creating custom actions based on your business needs are not possible.
Because brightfin is built on one platform natively integrated with your ITSM, we help you create advanced workflows without the constraints you face today.

World-class security
When a software company codes its platform from scratch, they face the incredible challenge of ensuring that no one can hack in and expose data. With every new software push comes the added weight of quality assurance, testing, debugging, and re-checking everything for security vulnerabilities.
Because brightfin uses ServiceNow as its foundation, it inherits the rigid security tactics of a publicly-traded, industry-leading company. brightfin is rigorously tested by ServiceNow and has been proven to meet their strict security and performance best practices.
