As the Facilities team prepares to move forward for Planon go-live on November 2, 2020, we have been working on solutions for on-going system maintenance, support and improvements needs — also known as sustainment, to help contain costs while ensuring that the supports are in place for system users. The EMMS Sustainment team will ensure that Planon continues to meet the long-term business objectives and requirements of current and future system users.
