Case Study: NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness) achieves 4x more analysis time and trusted, faster budgeting with Vena Solutions

NAMI Finds Peace of Mind in Budgeting & Reporting Numbers

National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), America’s largest grassroots mental health advocacy organization, faced budgeting pain from low adoption of legacy software, version-control headaches across 70+ spreadsheets, and a finance team spending most of its time collecting and reconciling numbers instead of analyzing them.

By deploying Vena’s Excel-based planning with a centralized OLAP database and guided rollout, NAMI gained familiar workflows with enterprise controls. The finance team cut time spent collecting and confirming data from 80% to 20%, increased time for analysis fourfold, improved budget transparency and drill-down visibility, and dramatically reduced manual consolidation, errors and cycle time.
