Expanding Beyond GL
Integrate Sales, Payroll, and Operations data into Vena for advanced, cross-functional reporting, expanding beyond the General Ledger.
About Expanding Beyond GL
Many organizations start Vena with GL data but require deeper cross-functional insights. Expanding beyond GL connects financial and operational data using our scalable ETL architecture, enabling holistic reporting across all subject areas.
Key FP&A Challenges
Expanding Vena beyond GL is complex due to integrating new data sources, aligning cross-functional data, and ensuring scalability without rebuilding existing reports.
mapping Sales/Payroll data complexity
standardizing data across departments
scalability without rebuilding reports
lack of integrated operational insights
adding data requires system redesign
DSCIM builds a scalable, modular ETL foundation using conformed dimensions to integrate all data streams, ensuring consistent cross-functional reporting.
Why DSCIM’s Approach Stands Out
