Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Currently being utilized by our FP&A Team as well as our accounting team. I am on the FP&A Team. It has allowed us to view blended forecasts, import actual values seamlessly, and has saved us hours of time. It has also helped our budgeting process and we hope to eventually bring it to the next level and start allowing department heads to help contribute to the budgeting process.

Pros and Cons

Drill down feature helps understanding values.
Excellent reporting.
Great data loads.

Better/faster comment input (currently, it takes several minutes to load).
Drill down when multi selected on reports.
Faster refresh

Return on Investment

Faster data loads
Easier consolidation among regions/departments
More efficient variance analysis.

Likelihood to Recommend

FP&A has really benefited from Vena. It has been well suited for our company as we make acquisitions because we can just add the new company as a new region and seamlessly start the budgeting/forecasting process for that segment of our business. We also like the workforce planning detail that we are able to use.
