About ETL Beyond Vena

Organizations struggle to keep Vena data consistent with external BI tools. Our Vena Data Mart acts as a single source of truth, fueling both Vena Cloud and tools like Power BI, guaranteeing accurate, unified, and consistent reporting across all platforms.

Key FP&A Challenges

Relying on separate ETLs or direct Vena connections often causes data inconsistencies between Vena reports and external BI tools like Power BI.

BI Inconsistency

data often mismatched between Vena and Power BI

Data Silos

operational data stored separately from Vena

Manual Export

need to export Vena data for external analysis

High Cost

Vena Power BI Connector requires extra purchase.

Limited Access

external tools cannot easily access Vena input data

Our shared Vena Data Mart feeds all reporting tools, guaranteeing data consistency while leveraging DSCIM’s data engineering expertise to monetize your investment.
