FM:Systems, now operating as part of Johnson Controls' OpenBlue platform following Johnson Controls' 2023 acquisition of the company, is an Integrated Workplace Management System (IWMS) built to help organizations run their real estate portfolios, facilities, and workplace experience from a single cloud platform. The product suite is organized into three pillars: OpenBlue Workplace (space and portfolio management, facility maintenance and asset management, move management, strategic scenario planning, lease and real estate tracking, project management, and sustainability tracking), OpenBlue Employee (desk booking, room scheduling, interactive floorplans, visitor management, and workplace services/kiosks), and OpenBlue Insights (workplace and utilization analytics, sensor analytics, environmental monitoring, and real-time performance dashboards). FM:Systems reports serving 1,200+ customers across 80+ countries, managing over 3 billion square feet of space and 250,000+ deployed sensors, with named clients including JLL, Samsung, Sysco, and Southwest Airlines. Its OpenBlue Workplace and OpenBlue Employee modules are FedRAMP Authorized, making the platform usable by U.S. federal government agencies, and it integrates with major enterprise systems such as SAP, PeopleSoft, Oracle, Lawson, and Banner. The company, originally founded in 1984 and headquartered in Raleigh, North Carolina, was acquired by Johnson Controls in July 2023 for roughly $455 million.

Key Features

Pros & Cons

Pros

  • Broad, unified IWMS suite covering space management, facility maintenance, real estate/lease tracking, and workplace analytics in one platform
  • FedRAMP Authorized modules make it viable for U.S. federal government and other security-sensitive customers
  • Pre-built integrations with major enterprise systems (SAP, PeopleSoft, Oracle, Lawson, Banner) ease deployment in large existing IT environments
  • Backed by Johnson Controls' OpenBlue ecosystem, pairing occupancy/workplace software with building-systems and IoT sensor hardware
  • Established track record with 1,200+ customers and large, name-brand clients (JLL, Samsung, Sysco, Southwest Airlines)

Cons

  • No public pricing — FM:Systems requires a custom quote based on portfolio size, resources, and integrations, making cost comparison difficult upfront
  • No free trial is offered; the vendor states this is because the platform requires configuration before use
  • Enterprise-oriented feature set and implementation model may be more than smaller organizations or single-site businesses need
  • As a large IWMS suite spanning many modules, onboarding and configuration are likely to require vendor-assisted setup rather than self-serve signup
