Toronto-based business planning software provider Vena announced Thursday the general availability of six new pre-built, secure data connectors via Microsoft Fabric, which builds on the company’s long-standing partnership with Microsoft.
Among them is the only pre-built Microsoft Fabric connector for Microsoft Dynamics 365 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,” the company said in a Nov. 6 media release.
These new connectors seamlessly unify multiple data sources, removing the challenges of data fragmentation, Vena added.
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 business intelligence software 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.
