Planon Receives Product Leadership of the Year Award from Frost & Sullivan
BRAINTREE, MASSACHUSETTS, March 1, 2010 –- The Planon Group, a global provider of enterprise real estate and facilities management software, has been named the recipient of Frost & Sullivan’s 2010 Product Leadership of the Year Award for the Real Estate and Facilities Management software market. The award recognizes Planon’s portfolio of real estate and facility management software solutions for its broad array of features and functionality, high quality, innovation, market acceptance and for providing its customers with valued enhancements. Planon announced the latest version (2010.A) of its software last week.
“Planon has positioned itself as a high-value provider of real estate and facility management software solutions,” said Jorge Moreno, research analyst, Frost & Sullivan.“Building owners, managers and users can leverage Planon’s Integrated Workplace Management Solution (IWMS) for ongoing information on real estate and facility management and performance supported by sophisticated Web-based tools as a way to reduce energy and improve space utilization.”

With over 1,300 customers and more than 25 years of industry experience, Planon is a global expert at providing solutions to customers’ real estate and facilities challenges.
Planon’s unwavering commitment to product innovation is demonstrated by its investment in research and development. Twenty percent of Planon’s revenue go back into research and development, a division with over 100 employees; such a commitment enables the company to introduce on average of two or more software releases a year offering new functionality, features, or the latest in technology standards.
“The Product Leadership Award is in recognition of vision, strategy and most of all our commitment to delivering superior products and solutions to our customers. We would like to thank our customers for their continued support and for trusting Planon to provide them with solutions that help reduce costs and improve environmental sustainability by smarter utilization of facilities and real estate assets,” said Pierre Guelen, Founder and CEO of the Planon Group.
The award recipient is selected based on a primary market analysis conducted by the best practices industry analyst team and on the customized Decision Support Matrix (DSM), an analytical tool used by Frost & Sullivan to compare companies’ performance relative to each other with an integration of quantitative and qualitative metrics. The DSM allows Frost & Sullivan research teams to objectively analyze each company’s performance on each criterion relative to its top competitors, and assign performance ratings on that basis.
