Planisware is the editor of the Enterprise Project Portfolio Management (EPPM) software solution Planisware V6 (formerly known as OPX2)[3] targeting multiple industries – including energy, medical devices, high-tech, aerospace & defense, chemicals, government, pharmaceutical, and automotive.

Planisware also refers itself as a Corporate Portfolio Management (CPM) solution, as it has the ability to accommodate, under a unique umbrella, different types of project management from IT project management to new product development. The Planisware solution covers both the project portfolio decision processes and project management operations.

Over the past five years, Planisware has regularly been reviewed by analysts in the project and portfolio management (PPM) space, such as Info-Tech Research Group,[4] Gartner,[5] Forrester Research[6] and the European Business School.[7] These reviews position Planisware as an important actor in the market. Configurability, a Web-based interface and functional breadth of the solution are often referred as the strong points of the Planisware solution.
