Planon Named a Leader in the 2011 Magic Quadrant for IWMS Software

Completeness of Vision and Ability to Execute are Key Evaluation Criteria for Independent Analyst Firm

BRAINTREE, MASSACHUSETTS, February 3, 2011 –- The Planon Group, a leading global provider of integrated workplace management systems (IWMS), today announced that Planon has been named a leader in the 2011 Magic Quadrant for Integrated Workplace Management Systems by Gartner Inc.

According to Gartner, “leaders have strength in applications and platform technology, demonstrate a high level of quality in product reliability and service, have strong operational and organizational capabilities and financial stability, have global reach and offer a strong vision of customer needs, reflected in a robust development road map.” Planon’s IWMS solution is a unified, integrated solution offering organizations the ability to cut costs and increase efficiencies in the following areas: facilities and space management, operations and maintenance, real estate and portfolio management, environmental sustainability and project management.

In the report, Gartner praised Planon for its low implementation cost, global approach and stated that Planon offers an “integrated solution that is less complex and generally easier to learn and use.”

“We’ve built Planon software from the ground up with a single-platform approach that delivers the automation, intelligence, scalability and integration our customers demand for managing their facilities and real estate operations,” said Pierre Guelen, Founder and CEO, Planon Group.

“We believe our Leader position in Gartner’s Magic Quadrant is a testament to our commitment to deliver visionary, best-in-class solutions to our broad customer base worldwide. Using our solution, Planon customers are achieving unprecedented improvements in facilities and real estate operations, cost reductions and increased efficiencies.”
