NIJMEGEN, Netherlands, Apr 1, 2026 – Planon launched Planon for Data Centers, a platform that safeguards uptime, reduces operational risk, and streamlines mission-critical operations across facilities. The release comes as AI adoption, cloud expansion, and rising computing density increase demands on data center operators. With global demand projected to triple by 2030, operators face growing pressure to maintain resilience, enforce consistent governance, and maintain asset visibility.
Planon for Data Centers consolidates maintenance, compliance, asset lifecycle, and energy workflows within a computerized maintenance management system (CMMS)-based platform designed for mission-critical operations. It integrates with building, power, and energy management systems to provide centralized visibility across distributed sites, reducing system fragmentation and improving operational control.
The CMMS platform digitizes procedures and automates workflows to reduce manual intervention and standardize execution across global data centers. Real-time alarms and environmental data feed into work order pipelines, enabling faster incident response and controlled change management. Industry benchmarks indicate that workflow automation and mobile CMMS adoption can reduce mean time to repair by up to 50%, supporting uptime and improving risk management.
“Data centers are the backbone of the digital economy. Operators tell us they need complete control over their assets, risks and performance without adding complexity,” said Peter Ankerstjerne, CEO of Planon. “With Planon for Data Centers, we combine deep CMMS expertise with real-time integration across critical systems, enabling our customers to safeguard uptime, strengthen compliance and scale with confidence.”
Planon for Data Centers supports enterprise, colocation, hyperscale, and edge operations that require consistent governance across sites. The platform connects maintenance, compliance, asset health, and energy management within a single workflow layer, improving operational consistency and control.
