Vena Once Again Named SPARK Leader in the SPARK Matrix Cloud Financial Planning and Analysis 2025

Vena Copilot agentic AI solution noted as a major strength as Vena reaffirms its leadership in cloud FP&A

TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Vena, the only Complete FP&A platform powered by agentic AI and purpose-built to fully amplify the Microsoft technology ecosystem, has been recognized as a SPARK Leader in the SPARK Matrix Cloud Financial Planning and Analysis 2025, ranking again as one of the top two providers by technological excellence. This continued recognition from QKS, based on its in-depth analysis of cloud financial planning and analysis vendors and its industry knowledge, signifies Vena’s ongoing leadership as a future-forward, AI-focused platform designed to scale with the growing responsibilities of the office of strategic finance.

Vena placed among the leaders in both the technological excellence and customer impact rankings, with Vena Copilot for FP&A standing out as one of the major differentiators. Vena Copilot, built from the start as an agentic-AI-capable solution, orchestrates the operations of both the Vena Analytics and Vena Reporting agents, with additional agents planned for release in the near future. Most recently, Vena Copilot received Microsoft Teams support, bringing agentic AI directly into financial professionals’ everyday workflow.

“Vena’s second straight year of Technological Excellence leadership is all the more impressive given the increased competitiveness and need for technological differentiation in the cloud FP&A space. We designed our entire platform, Vena Copilot included, for maximum flexibility to accommodate both changes in the technology available and the role of strategic finance alike, and that adaptability is a major reason our customers come to and stay with Vena,” said Hugh Cumming, CTO, Vena. “We’re honored by QKS’ recognition and plan to use their findings to continue fueling our innovations to help customers navigate this market volatility and go from good to great.”
