Case Study: VMware achieves automated, audit-ready revenue recognition with RevStream

VMware - Customer Case Study

VMware, a global leader in virtualization and cloud infrastructure, was burdened by a manual, Excel‑based revenue recognition process that consumed significant resources and left finance teams concerned about data accuracy and integrity. The ad hoc approach lacked systematic controls and a detailed audit trail, driving up audit costs and compliance risk.

Aptitude RevStream® automated transaction loads, applied revenue rules and treatments, auto‑generated schedules, enforced approvals/thresholds, and posted directly to the general ledger to create a streamlined, controlled revenue process. The solution established a single trusted source of truth for revenue, reduced compliance risk, and enabled VMware to process higher transaction volumes and adapt to future changes in products and recognition guidance.
