Brown University Selects Planon’s Facility Management Software

A Digital Solution to Plan, Manage, & Operate a Smart Campus

March 14, 2018 - Planon announced today that Brown University has chosen to enhance its campus facility management through the selection of Planon’s Integrated Workplace Management System (IWMS).

“The partnership with Planon will allow Brown to implement the most progressive smart campus technology for our facilities management services, which we hope will transform the campus experience for our students, faculty, staff and visitors and, in the process, reduce our costs while enabling greater efficiencies for the university,” said Dr. Ravi Pendse, CIO of Brown University.

Brown purchased Planon’s full IWMS suite and will begin implementing Planon's Asset & Maintenance Management and Space & Workplace Services Management domains first. These domains include inventory and warehousing capabilities, as well as key functionality for planning, managing and operating the extensive Brown campus portfolio of buildings and assets.

“We were impressed with the consistency and cleanness of the user interface of Planon’s IWMS offering across all modules,” said Monty Combs Director of Systems & Services at Brown University. “The system seemed very configurable to meet our needs end-to-end, and the ease-of-use weighed heavily on our decision. We conducted a lengthy, extensive selection process, and gained a consensus that Planon was the best fit for our needs.”
