CUSTOMER STORY
Reduced Reporting From Days to Seconds by Bringing Data Sources Into Visier
Struggling with Workday’s limitations and mistrust in data due to inconsistent usage, Veeam adopted Visier to streamline reporting and uncover hidden data issues. This improved data accuracy and decision-making. Initially rolled out to HRBPs, Visier gained momentum when C-suite leaders recognized its value. Leadership was impressed, with one leader calling it “the best platform” they’d ever seen. Visier’s automation saved them 37 hours per week on talent acquisition reports, amounting to nearly $300,000 in annual savings.

THE CHALLENGE
Concentrating talent acquisition data into a single view
Before Visier, Veeam faced challenges with inconsistent organizational structures and manual HR reporting using Excel and Workday. Data spread across multiple systems, including Workday and Greenhouse, led to mistrust and an incomplete view of the workforce. Viviana Clemente, Veeam’s People Data and Technology Director, sought a solution that offered more built-in analytics, leading to the adoption of Visier for automated and accurate data validation. Now, Veeam has streamlined its processes and is integrating Talent Acquisition data for a more comprehensive view.
"Visier pulls everything together seamlessly—like magic."
"We had been relying heavily on Excel and trying to make Workday’s out-of-the-box features work for us. We explored other options, but they didn’t offer the analytics we needed straight out of the box. Visier stood out massively from competitors—there was honestly no competition. We knew if we were going to make a change, we wanted to do it right from the start so it made sense to invest in Visier from the get-go and really push people to start using it."

THE SOLUTION
Driving C-suite adoption and improving data trust with Visier
Veeam initially rolled out Visier to HRBPs but quickly shifted focus to the C-suite, where leadership saw its immense value. This collaboration fostered transparency, allowing HRBPs to witness senior management's feedback. With Visier, Veeam equips leaders with real-time data insights for swift, informed decisions on workforce performance, budgeting, and turnover. One C-suite leader called it "the best platform" he’d ever seen, while others said it fulfilled long-standing needs. Visier also enhanced data transparency, enabling proactive cleanup and refining Veeam's processes for more reliable, accurate analytics.
“I created an executive dashboard highlighting key metrics like demographics, top attrition, and budget-related positions, crucial for managing Veeam's growth and hiring. It links to Visier’s prebuilt content, offering a high-level overview with options to drill down into details such as management level, gender, and employment type, helping leaders grasp both overall trends and specific growth areas.”

“Because we're a software company, any time we ask for money for software, we have to justify it even more than most. People often say, 'Why spend all this money when we could build our own?' It took a lot to justify the investment in Visier and continually demonstrate its value, so the fact that it has been so well-received is proof of both the product and the team behind it."

THE OUTCOME
Massive reductions in time, cost; plus, a boost in data trust
With Visier, Veeam streamlined data processes, automating a talent acquisition report that once took 37 hours weekly, saving the company $300,000 annually. Visier also revealed data discrepancies, helping the team proactively resolve issues and rebuild trust in their data. Focused on refining talent acquisition processes, Veeam is cleaning up data before it reaches Visier and guiding HRBPs to leverage prebuilt content for better reporting. This cultural shift aims to boost user engagement and make data reporting more efficient and reliable across the team.
