Vena Solutions

Vena is the AI-powered platform for Orchestrated Planning, Decisioning and Close, connecting people, processes, data and AI in the tools teams already know and trust. For organizations modernizing SAP planning, Vena provides a governed path forward without forcing every team into the same experience. Finance can plan and model in familiar Excel, while Acterys, a Vena solution, extends enterprise planning, governed write-back and business applications into Power BI and Fabric. Together, Vena and Acterys connect financial and operational planning across Excel, Power BI and the broader Microsoft data environment, helping organizations reduce decision latency, preserve governance and build an AI-powered planning foundation.

SAP Planning Modernization

For SAP BPC and other SAP planning customers, modernization is not simply a technology replacement. It’s a decision about what to preserve, what to rethink and which planning experience best fits the organization going forward. Vena supports a requirements-led path: Excel-first where Finance values flexible modeling and familiar workflows, or Power BI-first through Acterys where organizations want enterprise planning, contribution and action closer to the analytical environment already used across the business to review performance. Both experiences are supported by governed enterprise data, workflow and Microsoft-native architecture. And the result is a modernization path that connects planning more closely to how teams analyze performance, make decisions and act across the business.

Modernize financial planning while keeping Finance in the Excel environment it already knows. Connect SAP and other enterprise data to governed models, workflows, scenarios and reporting so teams can plan with greater speed, control and confidence.
Make Power BI a place to plan, contribute and act.

Use governed, cumulative context-driven AI to help Finance plan, analyze, report and close with greater speed and confidence. Vena AI connects trusted enterprise data and business context to AI-enabled workflows across Excel, Power BI and the broader Microsoft environment.
