ISG® Names Vena a Top Complete Planning Platform Across Three New Buyers Guides

Agentic AI platform excels in manageability, efficiency, compliance and security

TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Vena, the only Complete FP&A platform powered by agentic AI and purpose-built to amplify the Microsoft technology ecosystem, today announced ISG Research has recognized the Vena platform as a Manageability Leader and with a high overall ranking across three separate Buyers Guide research reports: Record to Report, Financial Close and Financial Consolidation. In each report, Vena’s solution suite was compared directly to a number of other major industry players—and ranked particularly high in efficiency, compliance and enterprise security, signifying its leadership as a Complete FP&A platform.

“Although these ISG accolades stem from our technological excellence, I am also enormously proud of Vena’s high scores for our customer experience, product experience, and sales and onboarding,” said Hugh Cumming, CTO of Vena. “By acting as such a strong partner through the prospect and customer journey, we’re providing an extra layer of value in addition to the value we bring with our agentic AI-powered solutions and deep Microsoft integrations.”

Across all three reports, Vena also earned strong overall accolades: as a Provider of Merit in the Record to Report analysis, a Provider of Assurance in the Financial Close analysis and as Exemplary in the Financial Consolidation analysis. These rankings were driven by Vena’s being categorized as one of the top three platforms by manageability in all reports. Manageability evaluates how well a product can be administered and supported throughout the enterprise lifecycle, incorporating efficiency, compliance and security.

“When preparing our Buyers Guides, we look beyond just how innovative a particular platform’s solutions are. Instead, we evaluate the holistic customer experience with the product and vendor alike to ensure that enterprises can feel confident in their choices,” said Robert Kugel, Executive Director, Business Research, ISG Software Research. “Our rigorous and thorough investigations are designed to reveal the true leaders in these spaces.”
