“We enter a new era of IWMS software ergonomics,” said Pierre Guelen, CEO and founder of Planon. “One size does not fit all anymore, and people expect context-sensitive and intuitive interaction on devices that suit their specific needs.”
Planon Universe includes the Accelerator best practices, a new innovative e-learning environment, and smart project collaboration tools. It also includes full integration with sensor technology that allows organizations to improve occupancy and utilization of workspaces and meeting rooms. Planon Universe comes by default with a secure cloud deployment. This allows organizations to reduce information technology (IT) costs drastically and jump-start their implementation.
The company says organizations can immediately benefit from role-based interaction as it ensures the highest user acceptance, chain integration, and end-to-end control in any real estate or facilities management process. Planon points out that the cloud deployment allows the company to bring a continuous stream of innovations to its customers faster and easier than ever before. Combined with a new pay-per-use model, organizations can gain maximum flexibility in both use and deployment of Planon Universe, now and in the future.
With over 30 years of computer-aided facilities management (CAFM) experience, Planon provides software that supports organizations around the world in optimizing their real estate and FM processes. Planon’s software is designed in-house and is fully integrated to deliver reliable management information. Independent technology research organization Gartner has consistently rated Planon as a global leader in its Magic Quadrant for Integrated Workplace Management Systems (IWMS). Planon has implemented its comprehensive solutions for over 2,000 clients, supported by offices around the world.
