Planon, a global provider of smart, sustainable building management software, has announced the integration with Microsoft Places (Places).

Places helps organisations reimagine flexible work with AI, enabling employees to connect more easily in the office, and optimise space management with occupancy and utilisation data. The integration of Planon’s Integrated Workplace Management Solution (IWMS) with Places will allow organisations to enable workplace strategies that are intelligent, integrated, and streamlined.



The integration of Planon with Places will provide organisations with:

- Streamlined operations: supporting optimised space management by connecting spatial data and floorplans in Planon with Places.

- Unified experience: enabling employees to manage desk bookings, meeting room reservations, and workplace resources directly within the calendar in Microsoft Outlook and Teams.

 - Enhanced insights: combining the rich real estate and facilities data available in Planon with Microsoft’s AI-powered workplace analytics.

Peter Ankerstjerne, CEO at Planon, said: “Becoming a Microsoft Places integration partner reinforces our position as a trusted provider of enterprise-grade space and workplace management solutions. Together, we are focused on creating workspaces that are smarter, more connected and easier to navigate.”

Charlie Chung, Partner Director of Product at Microsoft, said: “Organisations everywhere are rethinking how their workplaces can bring people together more effectively. By integrating Planon’s powerful building management capabilities with Microsoft Places, we’re enabling customers to create work environments that are smarter, more connected, and more responsive to the needs of their employees.”
