Toronto, ON – December 3, 2025 –
 Vena, the only AI-powered planning platform built for the Microsoft technology ecosystem, today announced it has been named an Assurance Provider across four categories in the 2025 ISG Buyers Guides™: Business Planning, Financial Planning, Workforce Planning and Revenue Planning. The results reflect Vena’s alignment with ISG’s 2025 market themes, including the rise of AI-enabled forecasting, the acceleration of Integrated Business Planning (IBP) adoption and the growing need for seamless enterprise data connectivity. 

“Being recognized as an Assurance Provider across the ISG Buyers Guides reflects the breadth of planning challenges our platform helps customers solve,” said Hugh Cumming, Chief Technology Officer at Vena. “Organizations want a planning experience that brings financial, workforce, revenue and operational planning together in a single, intuitive environment. With our AI-powered Complete FP&A platform and its deep integration with the Microsoft ecosystem, we’re helping teams work in the flow of their day while moving toward more connected, intelligent and continuous planning.” 

The ISG Buyers Guides serve as a valuable resource for FP&A, finance, operations and technology leaders evaluating planning platforms based on real-world adoption, customer references, product capability and vendor vision. Vena’s multi-category recognition builds on its momentum from last year’s ISG assessments and reinforces its position as a preferred platform for organizations modernizing their planning processes 

 “Vena continues to demonstrate strong performance across the planning spectrum,” said Robert Kugel, Executive Director, Business Research at ISG. “Their approach to unified planning—anchored in familiar Microsoft experiences and strengthened by emerging AI capabilities—positions them well for organizations advancing toward more connected financial, workforce and revenue planning as part of their broader integrated business planning process.”
