History

edit

Digital Fuel was co-founded in 2000 by Benny Lehmann, Israel Dancziger, Gilad Raz and Yakov Kogan who served as the company's CEO, CTO, and vice president of engineering, respectively.[1] Digital Fuel's ServiceFlow software was originally sold to corporate IT teams and to service providers to help them manage service level agreements (SLAs) for outsourcing agreements.[2]

In 2008 Digital Fuel expanded its product line to include IT financial management tools, to help corporate IT manage the business value and cost of IT[3] and gain better insight into IT costs.[4]

Digital Fuel has raised over $30m in funding from investors including Apax Partners, Benchmark Capital, Israel Seed Partners, and Sigma Partners.[5]

In June 2011, VMware purchased Digital Fuel for $85 million.[1][6][7]

In September 2016, Skyview Capital acquired Digital Fuel from VMware.[8]

In February 2018, Apptio, Inc. acquired Digital Fuel from Skyview Capital.[9]
