Enterprise-Grade Excel Drives Vena's 7th Consecutive Record Quarter

Vena Solutions sees another quarter of triple-digit revenue growth

Vena Solutions, the fastest growing cloud-based provider of corporate performance management (CPM) software, recently announced its seventh consecutive quarter of record growth. Fueled by the company's unique approach to helping medium and large sized organizations embrace Microsoft Excel as an enterprise-class business solution, Vena's Q3 highlights include (all figures Y/Y):

• 177% growth in annual recurring revenue (ARR)
• 91% growth in enterprise customers

"We're right where we want to be in our exponential growth plan, a sentiment shared by industry analysts and other influencers who know our sector intimately," said Don Mal, CEO at Vena Solutions.

In addition to its focus on enterprise-grade Excel, embracing one of the world's most popular and widely adopted software applications, Vena's continued record growth was driven by factors including:

• Excelling beyond finance: increased adoption of Vena's spreadsheet business solutions in areas beyond finance, from sales and marketing to academic accreditation and program planning;
• Industry recognition: Vena's unique approach of embracing Excel continues to gain recognition, from recent coverage by analyst firm 451 Research to accolades such as the Product of the Year Award for its Financial Close Management (FCM) solution from the Business Intelligence Group;
• Innovation & expansion: significant license expansions, partly in anticipation of the company's product roadmap for 2016, including mobile dashboards and advanced data discovery functionality, along with other valuable business intelligence (BI) functionality.

"Our continued record growth is a reflection of our clients' satisfaction with embracing Excel for the enterprise,” added Mal. "These results clearly validate our unique approach, and set us up for more widespread adoption moving forward."
