Vena Webinar 10 Dec : Introduction of Vena and deep dive session on Finance-owned Planning with Vena

During this 1 hour webinar, we will introduce you to Vena, a CPM solution that leverages the native MS Excel interface, and show you how Vena supports a planning process owned by the Finance team.
Excel is the most used business software in the world, so it’s no surprise that people want to keep using it. But it’s not only the pull of Excel driving its continued use; there are inherent challenges with most CPM applications that encourage their users to keep Excel around. Excel’s persistence often results directly in creating two parallel processes: the official CPM system, plus a second “shadow” Excel process. This is a recipe for errors and inefficiencies, defeating the very purpose of a controlled CPM solution.
Vena embraces the fact that Excel is never going away. By using Excel as its primary user interface, Vena is a unique vendor that can deliver on the full promise of CPM combining Excel’s familiarity, flexibility and power ;
