Our strategic theme going forward is to “Building the Future of Connected Services” so our Professional Services customers can fully connect, plan, collaborate, and work across the services lifecycle and within the context of the enterprise they live in.
Below are a few highlights from our ‘Year in Review’ and the key resources to guide your organization’s success!

Conclusion
If the word that best captures the essence of 2021 is “uncertainty,” then the term that will dominate the narrative in 2022 and going forward is “opportunity.” We are proud and excited to play a leading role in helping services organizations thrive in the new world of work and empower them to seize opportunities vs. shrink from obstacles.
While 2021 was extremely eventful and successful at Planview, we have no doubt that 2022 will be even more momentous!
