UVM is deploying a new university-wide Integrated Workplace Management System (IWMS). Enterprise Technology Services (ETS) and all Facilities Management (FM) units are collaborating on this strategic campus project which will integrate, streamline, simplify and enhance the ability of facilities-related units to deliver high quality services to the University campus.
We’ve partnered with a vendor, Planon Software, to help us develop this new single portal for “all things facilities” at UVM. The new system will completely replace FAMIS– the current facilities enterprise software which has served the UVM campus for the past 15 years.
STATUS: We’ve wrapped up User Acceptance Testing (UAT), completed end-to-end testing, working on data loads into “prod” environment and have begun training back-end users in “acc” environment. Planon “Go Live” will occur the weekend of Sept 30-Oct 1 and all campus users will have access on Monday, October 2, 2023.
