Case Study: Cumming Corporation reached 255% ROI in six months with Vena
Key results
The challenge
Cumming Corporation, a global project and cost management consultancy, ran financial operations in manual spreadsheets. This created version-control issues, data silos, weak template-integrity controls and viewing-privilege vulnerabilities that posed security risks.
The solution
Cumming selected Vena's corporate performance management platform for its Excel-native interface, flexibility and scalability, establishing a single source of truth for global project collaboration.
“Excel itself is a very robust tool outside of the box. There's just some weaknesses that I think Vena fulfills...that single source of truth, which eliminates a lot of the Excel or spreadsheet issues.”

The results, in context
Nucleus Research calculated a 255% ROI after six months. Cumming accelerated its budgeting cycle by 50% to every three months and cut the reporting cycle from four weeks after month-end close to one day. Average training time was one hour per employee and implementation cost less than one-third of the expected budget.
