OneStream's Rapid Expansion in EMEA
OneStream, recognized as the AI operating system for modern finance, has made significant strides by surpassing the milestone of 600 customers within the EMEA region. This notable achievement, coupled with a tripled user base for its Finance AI solutions, marks a pivotal moment for the company as it continues to redefine the financial landscape. These developments are particularly highlighted by founder and CEO Tom Shea at the prestigious Web Summit 2026 event in Lisbon, Portugal.
Tom Shea emphasized that the true value of AI for CFOs isn't simply about having sophisticated models. Instead, he believes it revolves around the implementation of AI within a robust governance framework. He stated, “AI acts as the reasoning engine; however, trustworthy enterprise software serves as the essential trust engine.” The growth of OneStream in the EMEA region demonstrates that leaders are on the lookout for a reliable financial control tower, which provides actionable insights while minimizing operational risks.
Major Milestones and Regional Momentum
Over the last year, OneStream has empowered more than 100 new customers throughout EMEA, reaching a wide spectrum of industries including manufacturing, retail, banking, pharmaceuticals, and oil and gas. Notable names among its clientele include Grupo ACS, Delivery Hero, and Swatch. As businesses in these sectors shift from outdated legacy systems, they are opting for a consolidated platform that facilitates financial closing, consolidation, reporting, and planning. A unified tech stack not only addresses the growing regulatory complexities across EMEA but also ensures that organizations have access to governed data for valuable AI insights.
The company has witnessed exceptional growth in AI adoption due to the ongoing enhancements of its platform. Since the end of 2025, the number of customers using OneStream’s Finance AI in EMEA has more than tripled, demonstrating a clear shift towards innovative finance solutions.
OneStream is committed to expanding its operations and partner networks across the region, bolstered by its presence in major hubs such as London, Manchester, Paris, Amsterdam, and Madrid. Matt Rodgers, EVP of EMEA at OneStream, noted, “Finance leaders across EMEA are keen on modernizing their foundational financial platforms to adapt to evolving regulations. This modernization is crucial for transitioning AI projects from pilots to full-scale enterprise implementations. It ensures they can rely on trustworthy data.”
Building Trust in AI Applications
During the Web Summit, Tom Shea is slated to engage in a prominent discussion titled, “Why AI and SaaS Need Each Other.” This session will delve into the transforming role of enterprise software as AI technologies become integrated into intricate workflow processes. Shea will illuminate the significance of governed data, stringent access controls, and clear audit trails in determining how organizations can safely allow autonomous AI agents to operate.
Through this focus on governance and modernization, OneStream is reinforcing its commitment to ensuring that AI enhancements yield substantial benefits in the finance sector. In a rapidly evolving landscape, businesses are increasingly recognizing the importance of building platforms that not only optimize financial operations but also provide a secure foundation for leveraging AI capabilities effectively.
