Welcome to Visyond, a cloud-based, secure, Excel-compatible spreadsheet modeling, auditing, analysis and visualization platform.

Summary

Decision making requires a combination of spreadsheet modeling, analytics, knowledge management, data visualization and reporting competencies and tools.

Analysts, experts, clients, executives (CEOs, CFOs, etc.) must collaborate with strict requirements on data security and governance.

Below this summary, you can read FAQs and a detailed product tour of the aspects more relevant to you.

Get Started in 3 Simple Steps

Step 1: Connect Your Spreadsheet

Import your Excel spreadsheet (or build one in Visyond) to transform it into an interactive and collaborative decision-making platform.

What you get

Transform your spreadsheet into a scalable and collaborative decision-making platform with inbuilt security and collaboration.

Immediately, and without any extra effort:

• Assumptions and scenarios will be tracked and compared automatically
• Each stakeholder can work and view (or interact with) only what they need. This will:
  • Prevent sensitive data from being exposed or leaked.
  • Shield stakeholders from information overload and confusion (e.g., a decision maker may not want to locate the input cells to change for a what-if analysis, and an expert may only be concerned with entering assumptions).
  • Avoid surprises for stakeholders (model builders, reviewers, managers) as they will always be on the same page and in sync.
• Each stakeholder can find anomalies and the root-cause of errors without having to inspect each cell in the recalculation chain.

What do you need and how long it takes

It takes 5 to 15 minutes, one-off setup process:

1. Sign Up for free
2. Import your Excel into Visyond, or create a new project from scratch

Main benefits compared to status quo and competitors

• No long installation processes
• No need to involve consultants or IT departments (unless you want Visyond on-premise) for configuration
• Get started in minutes and leverage your Excel skills in a familiar environment

Step 2: Analyze with a Few Clicks

Select cells you want to analyze, and get presentation-ready Sensitivities, Scenarios, and Monte Carlo Simulations.

What you get

You will, in real time, visualize:

• The key input cells that impact your KPIs (e.g., revenues, costs, profits, headcount, ROI, etc.). Often this also uncovers formula errors.
• The sensitivities of the KPIs to those drivers;
• The scenarios created or autogenerated;
• The project risks based on Monte Carlo simulation.

You can place all these analyses on online interactive dashboards and create shareable web calculators using input/output cells and charts from the spreadsheet.

Visyond will also guide you to build pro-forma financial statements by selecting relevant spreadsheet rows.

What you need to do and how long it takes

1. Select the decision KPI (e.g., an output cell like ROI, NPV, Revenues, Expenses, etc.)
2. Click on auto-analysis. 

It takes a few seconds to a few minutes (depending on spreadsheet size)

Main benefits compared to status quo and competitors

✔️ Remove human bottlenecks: every stakeholder can self-serve by clicking a button instead of hoping a “spreadsheet guru” is available;

✔️ Carry out, in seconds or minutes, tasks that take now hours or days of error-prone manual setups;

✔️ Reduce costly accidental errors;

✔️ Make more accurate decisions, faster.

Step 3: Share Insights via Dashboards

Select cells and charts from the spreadsheet, add them to interactive dashboards, and securely share them.

What you get

• Interactive dashboards to share with great permission granularity: decide what dashboard each stakeholder sees and what scenarios can be selected on each;
• A tool that transforms a long spreadsheet-based workflow (e.g., Budget vs Actuals, Price Negotiation model, etc.) into a real time experience, easy for the modeler and the user.

What you need to do and how long it takes

1. Just click on the charts, key input and output cells you want on a dashboard;
2. Share it with granular permissions (see Step 1)

10 to 30 minutes for one-off dashboard design

1 to 5 minutes for updates

Main benefits compared to status quo and competitors

FAQs

Before getting into the tour, we would like to answer a few questions you may have.

You and your collaborators will work on the same project without overwriting one another, and all changes will be tracked

Visyond is a secure single source of truth enabling spreadsheet Governance and Data Tracking

No risk of overwriting someone else’s assumptions and analyses because, unlike other online spreadsheets (where the last edit overwrites the existing one), multiple inputs can coexist in a cell (you can switch between assumptions). Nobody, including the project owner, can modify data entered by others: Visyond protects data integrity and fosters accountability.

Multiple collaborators can work on the same project and Visyond will track and report who added assumptions or attached supporting documents inside the cell, when and why.

This prevents version chaos and the risk of exposing sensitive data while sharing via email or other channels.

No risk of multiple architectural changes while someone is working on the model, or that someone makes a decision based on an outdated version.

You will collaborate with your colleagues and consolidate data without the madness of going through email threads and attachments.

You can create charts and analyses and share them via interactive online dashboards that act as a virtual sandbox where collaborator can stress test the model in an intuitive and streamlined environment, without interacting with or risking to break the model.

You will share only specific worksheets and interactive reports with specific collaborators

Interactive Presentations

Visyond Dashboards allow you to build interactive dashboards where you and your collaborators can test different assumptions without touching the spreadsheet.

You can share dashboards with people who do not need to see the spreadsheet but are only interested in testing a few input and output cells or looking at a sensitivity analysis.

Dashboards act as a calculator driven by the spreadsheet. Changing data on the dashboard does not make changes to the spreadsheet. This ensures spreadsheet’s integrity even if many people are working on it through interactive dashboards.

You will visualize and understand spreadsheets’ structure, errors and anomalies as you type

Visyond is a spreadsheet auditing platform that highlights model structure, errors and potential anomalies in real time

Natural names

You will visualize the impact of key drivers in minutes without exporting spreadsheet data to BI tools

Visyond is a secure and collaborative spreadsheet automation, business intelligence and data visualization platform

With Visyond you will build models and carry out, in minutes, analyses that skilled professionals prepare in hours or days using traditional spreadsheets and multiple business intelligence and data visualization tools.

You will do this in a fraction of the time and without worrying about deleting or changing your collaborators’ work or exporting the data set every time there is a change in the model.

For example, try running from the context menu Auto Analysis (Ctrl / Command + A) on any formula cell and see o fast you get insights that that would take you a long time and tedious manual setups to prepare.

Visyond was built with collaboration at its core and multiple collaborators can run and save different analysis they can always go back to. As usual, nobody but the owner of the analysis can edit or delete it.
