Thanks for the tag @Truman Tang. I do have some experience in serving on great teams. I start with the integrity of the people. You can teach folks many different skills, but true integrity is hard to come by. I try my best to sniff that out before hiring. My friend and ally @Levi Davis is a great example ...

No real headway here. Our IS department was not yet ready to set up proper user permissions for us to access the Salesforce data directly. I never heard back from folks on their experiences. We are also under a massive ERP replacement project, so we decided to hold on connecting to Salesforce until we ...

Thanks Liam. Follow-up question. I understand that the only data that would be pulled to the cube would be based on the query we write. Having said that, does this mean that Vena corporate still has access to our entire Salesforce database? Or can Vena only see what we grant? The reason I ask is that ...

We are looking at connecting Saleforce to Vena in order to bring in some data. What experience might any of you have with the SF connector? Is it easy to limit the scope of what information is brought in? Have you found it valuable? I see a world of possibilities if we could access all our SF data and ...

I like to attend the livestream webinars when the content is relevant to my role. I also try to jump in on Vena NATION when it occurs. I focus on the technical tracks because a lot of the other is more oriented toward prospective Vena customers. Brandon Combs CPA|CGMA Director of Camping Budgets ...

This is a great question Jon. I look forward to hearing from others- as well as how you would answer. I am a licensed CPA, so much of my learning comes from continuing education. I also regularly consume the news from various sources. I have a CGMA license too. They send a great magazine ...

RE: Grant Budgeting Best Practice

I can't speak directly into the grant space, but I can say this- the flexibility of Vena's Excel should allow you to build a custom template that will meet your needs. We have done similar things before- take a pre-existing report of our own, add a tab for the donor view, use formulas to populate the ...
