The EY organization today announces an alliance with Planon, a market leading smart sustainable building management solution provider, and EY Advisory Netherlands LLP (EY Netherlands), to help businesses optimize their real estate and workplace strategies in achieving growth, long-term value and sustainability. The alliance has been activated in the Netherlands and the US with additional global expansion planned over time.
As corporate offices play an enormous role in reaching a net-zero future, real estate managers are under increasing pressure to be transparent about the energy and sustainability performance of their building portfolios and to identify areas for improvement. The EY-Planon Alliance brings clients options for a seamless experience to fulfil their real estate and digital workplace needs with a focus on innovative technology and efficacy in implementation.
This alliance supports client efforts to navigate the increasingly complex digital workplace, smart building and workplace experience arena with actionable and meaningful insights from the EY organization, combined with Planon's integrated workplace management solution (IWMS) and internet of things (IoT) platform. As leaders in the real estate consulting and technology marketplace, EY teams bring deep knowledge of real estate, workplace and facilities, and extensive experience in lease accounting and software implementation across a global footprint.
Through the alliance offerings, clients will also be supported to meet compliance with lease accounting standards and create greater efficiency in portfolio management and process quality, which measurably helps reduce costs and contributes to the organization's overall performance.
Bernd Kramer, EY Global Planon Alliance Leader, says:
"The EY-Planon Alliance brings together the digital tools, systems and implementation experience of EY teams and Planon to support organizations seeking a comprehensive solution depot to reshape their real estate and facilities digitally. The alliance helps reduce the complexity arising from independent siloed systems through unified integrated platforms, helping organizations make better decisions, and act quickly and sustainably to develop a future-ready workplace."
"Planon is thrilled to collaborate with the EY organization to leverage their experience in real estate and business consulting, their in-depth knowledge of the IWMS landscape and their thought leadership to help our clients achieve a healthy, efficient and sustainable workplace. As global leaders in our respective fields, the EY organization and Planon make a powerful team that will continue to help drive adoption of leading technologies for real estate and facility management, and add value for clients."
Pierre Guelen, Founder and CEO of Planon

This rollout will take place nationwide in a phased market approach starting today.
As real estate's most trusted digital signature solution, Authentisign has for over 20 years provided the industry with a way to sign transactions documents quickly, easily, and most importantly, securely. The all-new Authentisign will replace the existing digital signature solution built into Transactions (zipForm Edition) and represents a significant improvement in how real estate professionals manage and complete signings.
In the new Authentisign, users will experience:
Improved signing creation workflows that remove the need for a signing wizard
An improved signer experience that times signature prompts to match user interaction
Performance improvements that mean users can complete signings up to 60% faster
With these improvements, users will be able to complete signings in just three easy steps—so they can process and close deals faster than ever while providing a simpler experience for homebuyers and sellers.
Since its original release in 2021, the all-new Authentisign has received over 1.8 million ratings from agents, buyers, and sellers alike with a 4.5 out of 5 average. Of the 42 million signings completed in Lone Wolf solutions in the last year, 17 million have been completed using the all-new Authentisign.
"The new Authentisign was not only easier and faster than the previous version; it was also easier and faster than any other signature solution I've used, The new transaction workspace is a massive time-saver for real estate agents, and the signing experience for clients is incredibly intuitive."
- Janice Poetsch, Chief Administrative Officer at Fair Realty

Real estate has migrated from fragmented point solutions to digitally connected experiences, and transactions are the heart of it all, By connecting improved signatures to transactions through the all-new Authentisign, we're creating a central hub where real estate professionals can access and provide to their own clients the only truly connected start-to-finish experience in the industry,said Sean Wheeler, CTO at Lone Wolf.
