Overall Satisfaction with Vena

We use Vena primarily within Finance and Accounting. But the reporting out of it is seen across the entire enterprise, including materials for our executive team and board of directors.
  • Hierarchy
  • Standardizing data across systems
  • Scenarios/Forecasts
  • System Connectivity
  • More established business processes/templates
  • Finance Admin, minimal IT time
  • Saves hours each close across finance/accounting with consolidation and automatic reporting of results
We used a third party contractor affiliated with Vena for our implementation/support.
Yes, we've been able to properly organize and speak to our data in more meaningful way. In addition, we've gone further by creating allocation templates to better distribute costs to our products for even more robust understanding of drivers.

Vena provides a means of standardizing and organizing data that otherwise isn't congruent. In acquisition led businesses where there is still legacy data structure to work through, Vena helps get everything into one common structure and language, regardless of system or data format.
