Planon announces Green Workplace Economics™
BRAINTREE, MASSACHUSETTS, January 20, 2009 –- Planon, a global provider of enterprise real estate and facilities software, has announced Green Workplace Economics™ to meet the demand in the marketplace for ways to drive profit and improve environmental sustainability by smarter utilization of facilities and real estate assets.
“Recent enterprise surveys show there is more than 20% hidden waste in physical resources and workforce time spent on workplace-related assets. Buildings create an enormous ecological footprint by consuming more than 45% of commercial energy resources,” said Pierre Guelen, CEO of the Planon Group. “Planon’s Green Workplace Economics™ concept centers on gaining profit through cost savings while simultaneously improving environmental sustainability.”
Corporate real estate and facilities managers are under pressure to identify immediate cost savings in the face of a major economic crisis, an enormous environmental challenge and a technological revolution which is leading to a rapid transformation in workplace dynamics. In addition, legislation and corporate social responsibility is driving enterprises to achieve a sustainable reduction of their CO2 footprint. Increasing workforce flexibility requirements represent potential for simultaneously accomplishing both goals.
Green Workplace Economics™ addresses the challenge by enabling companies to eliminate waste, align need, and improve agility. Using Planon’s Integrated Workplace Management System (IWMS) solutions, companies are applying Green Workplace Economics and finding they are able to meet and oftentimes exceed their sustainability objectives while cutting costs.
“Corporate real estate managers can improve performance by aligning real estate strategy and operations with financial, operational and environmental goals,” said Jim Nauen, SVP Sales and Marketing for Planon Inc. “Companies are also finding that by effectively managing the increasing workforce flexibility they can create a smarter, more efficient workplace which drives cost reduction and improves the sustainability footprint.”
A ‘just in time’ and ‘fit for purpose’ approach to maintenance management enables cost-effective, undisturbed operations, minimizing unplanned downtime and steering effective maintenance. An integrated management solution also effectively renders employee RE, FM and IT services, supporting primary processes and enhancing workforce satisfaction.
