Executive Summary
This report provides a detailed, fact-based comparison of the 12 most prominent connected portfolio intelligence platform (CPIP)/integrated workplace management system (IWMS) software providers in the market. Based on the proprietary Verdantix Green Quadrant methodology, our analysis comprised two-and-a-half-hour live product demonstrations with pre-set scenarios, desk research and vendor responses to a 184-point questionnaire covering eight technical, nine functional and eight market momentum categories. We also conducted interviews with 17 software users and reviewed the data from our global survey of 303 corporate real estate and facilities management executives. Verdantix analysis finds that vendors are transitioning from legacy IWMS solutions to CPIP offerings to meet customer demand for greater data integration and analytics. Among the firms analysed in this study, eight providers – Planon, IBM, Eptura, MRI Software, Tango, Johnson Controls, Spacewell-Nemetschek and Nuvolo – demonstrated leading CPIP/IWMS capabilities.
