BOSTON, November 8, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --

Planon announced today that California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo (Cal Poly) selected Planon's Integrated Workplace Management System (IWMS) for the management, development, and optimization of its campus facilities.

The Planon solution will enable capital project management, facility finance, maintenance operations and space teams at Cal Poly to effectively and efficiently manage facilities throughout the entire building lifecycle.

"We at Cal Poly are excited to begin this partnership with Planon and the incredible value the Planon Universe system will bring. We have put a lot of time and effort into testing it against the market leaders and negotiating a contract that will greatly benefit our campus," said John Sage, Strategic Business Services for Cal Poly. "Further, this agreement will be made available to other campuses in the system. By having other campuses take advantage of utilizing the same IWMS solution, reporting up to the Chancellor's office can be more consistent than ever before.
