Planon 2011 is enabled for Macintosh, features Windows 7 Support and offers the most advanced and capable AutoCAD integration solution on the market today.

Brighton, October 26, 2010 – The Planon Group, a global provider of Integrated Workplace Management Solution (IWMS) software, announced the launch of a groundbreaking new software release designed to optimize workplace use and employee performance while dramatically reducing costs. The 2011 version of Planon’s world-leading Integrated Workplace Management Solution (IWMS) software offers a range of new functionality to help companies effectively manage the changing office environment, where work is becoming increasingly flexible and the ‘traditional’ office is replaced by virtual remote workplaces. With the introduction of the most advanced AutoCAD integration solution available on the market today, the new software package strives to meet the ever-growing demand for complete visibility into core business processes and workflows. The 2011 version is also enabled for Macintosh and features Window 7 Support so users can use Planon on a broader range of operating systems. Pierre Guelen, Founder and CEO, Planon Group, explained: “In today’s market, cutting cost and optimising performance are two of the most critical business drivers.” “Planon’s latest version is a new and powerful software solution, that will help companies achieve these objectives by providing a whole host of exciting, new business support services that enable employees to work at peak performance while drastically reducing cost.”

The latest version brings many new features designed to optimize perfomance and reduce costs, including:

  • Planon Connect for AutoCAD®: Provides complete visibility into space- and asset- utilization, allowing graphical scenario planning and space mappings in AutoCAD to improve space usage.
  • Integrated Services Management: Reduce downtimes and costs in core business processes with 24/7 web access across RE, FM, IT and HR areas.
  • Invoice & Cash Flow Manager: Planon 2011 offers organizations a way to achieve internal and external compliance mandates and contractual obligations with streamlined, unified invoice processing and cash flow management resulting in less mistakes and administration and maximized contract value.
  • Comprehensive Asset Management: The latest version offers a wide array of financial forecasting, scenario planning, strategic decision-making and activity planning tools and reports. Using Planon 2011, organizations can extend the technical and economic lifecycle of assets, reduce downtimes, avoid business critical standstills while automating work orders, SLA management, maintenance management and much more.
