UVM is deploying a new university-wide Integrated Workplace Management System (IWMS). UVM’s 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 new 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 existing facilities management enterprise software which has served us for the past 15 years.
NOTE: “Go Live” on Planon Phase One is now anticipated early to mid-October 2022
