OPTIMISING YOUR PORTFOLIO and PROJECT MANAGEMENT

In today’s challenging economic times, investing scarce capital into the right projects is critical.

There is significant competitive advantage for organisations that integrate capital planning, budget control, project selection, and approval and management capabilities within their overall strategy. If they don’t, in the current economic environment, the consequences of inefficient project execution and resource control practices are dramatic.

Today, ineffective portfolio management has a broad and direct impact on corporate performance, including:

  • Clogged project pipelines
  • High project failure rate
  • Too few resources working on too many projects
  • Excessively long and manual capital budget approval processes
  • Lack of budget control at the project or portfolio level
  • Frequent budget overruns, especially towards the end of each project.
  • Lack of integration between systems with inconsistent, poor data quality resulting in ineffective decision making.

Organisations are now embracing TAMS Portfolio and Project Management Solution using enhanced SAP functionality with integration from SAP Portfolio & Project Management to P6 Cloud, Ariba, PRISM, BIM to effectively manage their project portfolios including shutdowns.

QUALITY IMPLEMENTATION

SAP PPM can enable your organisation to dramatically improve efficiency, effectiveness, and productivity while reducing exposure to risks related to project failures. However, do not make the mistake of trying to implement a cookie-cutter solution that is ill-suited to your situation.

 A quality implementation will enable you to derive much greater value from your project portfolios. A poor approach can harm your organisation by increasing costs, wasting valuable time, and generating useless and inaccurate information. Invest the upfront effort it takes to identify and understand alternatives and to make the right choices for your organisation.
