Verdantix Independent Benchmark Evaluates The Fourteen Major Vendors In the Global Market For IWMS Solutions

The Verdantix report 'Green Quadrant: Integrated Workplace Management Systems' is the only independent benchmark of IWMS solutions available on the market today. The analysis offers a detailed comparison of the 14 strongest IWMS suppliers and their applications. Results identify Accruent, ARCHIBUS, FM:Systems, IBM, MCS Solutions, Planon and Trimble (News - Alert) as the seven market leaders. The study findings are based on a 111-point questionnaire, live product demonstrations and buying preference data. Also included in the study are IWMS solutions provided by Axxerion, FSI, iOFFICE, Indus Systems, Lucernex, Qube Global Software and Service Works Group.

"The market for IWMS is entring an exciting new phase, marked by a further convergence of solutions and a flurry of product investment as many of the major vendors grow revenues in the region of 20% year-on-year," commented Susan Clarke, Verdantix Senior Analyst. "Buyers looking to replace a roster of legacy systems for managing real estate and facilities data have a lot of choice with all seven Leaders demonstrating an excellent breadth of functionality. Other vendors offer strong capabilities in areas such as employee engagement and smart buildings."

Shortlist recommendations are as follows:

• Strong functionality across all areas: ARCHIBUS, Planon, Trimble
• Real estate, leasing and portfolio management: Accruent, Qube Global Software
• Capital project management: Accruent, IBM (News - Alert)
• Space management: FM:Systems, MCS Solutions
• Workplace services: iOFFICE, FSI, MCS Solutions
• Asset and maintenance management: Axxerion, FSI, Service Works Group
• Energy and sustainability management: IBM, MCS Solutions

"A major criticism of IWMS platforms in the past was a sense of the breadth of the applications hiding a lack of depth in the functionality. This is no longer the case. The 14 vendors in this Green Quadrant benchmark have credible products and sufficient resources to meet the needs of different buyers. Many vendors are investing 10-20% of revenues in product development to address the major trends in real estate such as wellbeing, the IoT and space optimization," commented Rodolphe d'Arjuzon, Verdantix Managing Director.

For an in-depth understanding of the 14 most prominent IWMS solutions, attend the Verdantix webinar: 'New IWMS Solution Benchmark: How To Select The Best Fit Vendor' on 28^th September.
