TORONTO: #financialanalysis--Vena, the only FP&A platform purpose-built to leverage the full power of the Microsoft technology ecosystem, was recognized as a Challenger in the 2024 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Financial Planning Software.

We believe Vena is recognized for its strong presence in the manufacturing sector, its ability to support advanced planning use cases and its innovative AI capabilities through Vena Copilot. While we believe Challengers typically prioritize execution over new features, Vena’s roadmap demonstrates a clear commitment to bridging this gap. Recent enhancements, such as the Vena Export API and the upcoming integration of Vena for Microsoft Teams, aim to extend functionality and streamline financial planning workflows.

"We’re pleased to be recognized in the Gartner report," said Hugh Cumming, Chief Technology Officer at Vena. "Our Complete Planning platform is designed to empower businesses by combining Microsoft-powered AI, advanced analytics and seamless integration with the tools they use every day. We believe this recognition reinforces our commitment to providing organizations with the confidence and insights to make agile, data-driven decisions that fuel their success."
