Launch includes first Microsoft Dynamics 365 F&O connector for FP&A, simplifying data integration and enabling AI-powered finance
TORONTO – November 6, 2025 – Vena, the only AI-powered planning platform built for the Microsoft technology ecosystem, today announced the general availability of six new pre-built, secure data connectors via Microsoft Fabric. Among them is the only pre-built Microsoft Fabric connector for Microsoft Dynamics 365 F&O (Finance and Operations)—the preferred integration method for Dynamics F&O data within the Microsoft ecosystem. This makes Vena the only FP&A platform enabling organizations to connect Dynamics 365 F&O data through Microsoft’s recommended approach, ensuring faster, more reliable and future-ready data integration. These new connectors seamlessly unify multiple data sources, removing the challenges of data fragmentation.
The New Imperative for Connected Data
Finance and operations teams are under increasing pressure to unify data across systems, but many still struggle with siloed tools and manual processes that slow decision making. Leading analyst reports—including the 2025 Nucleus Research CPM Technology Value Matrix, Dresner’s Wisdom of Crowds® EPM Study, the BPM Partners Vendor Landscape Matrix and the BARC Planning Survey 25—all emphasize that data integration is now a critical capability for financial planning and performance management platforms.
Despite the growing number of tools, 24% of BI users in a BARC study cited either poor data quality or poor data governance as a top issue for their projects, underscoring a clear market gap and ongoing pain point.
“Integrations shouldn’t just move data from point A to point B. They should create a foundation for how organizations plan and operate in the future,” said Hugh Cumming, Chief Technology Officer at Vena. “With Microsoft Fabric, we’re giving our customers a unified, secure environment where data is always ready to inform the next decision. It’s about enabling finance and business leaders to spend less time wrangling data and more time shaping strategy.”
