Your added value

What changes in your portfolio

Project portfolio management pays off when decisions are made faster and based on facts. We set it up so that the PMO, project managers and management work with the same figures.

Clear priorities

Initiatives are assessed against fixed criteria. What contributes most to your goals gets done.

Resources without overload

You see utilisation and bottlenecks across all projects before deadlines slip.

Budgets under control

Plan and actuals are tracked continuously, not just at the end of the project. Recorded time flows directly into the ERP or SAP.

Status reports at the push of a button

Dashboards replace the PowerPoint round at the end of the month. Everyone sees the same, up-to-date picture.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about project portfolio management

What is project portfolio management (PPM)?

PPM ensures that your company delivers the right projects at the right time with the right resources. Instead of looking at each project in isolation, you keep the whole portfolio in view: with budgets, capacities, progress and risks in one place. Find out more in our article series PPM in Germany.

How do I know Excel is no longer enough?

When projects and resources are maintained in several lists, status reports have to be built from scratch every time, and nobody can say for sure who will still have capacity next month. By then at the latest, a PPM system pays off.

OpenText PPM or PlainPPM?

OpenText PPM is the enterprise solution for complex project landscapes with high demands on governance and finance. PlainPPM runs directly in Microsoft 365 and is ideal for a lean, fast start. We work with both and recommend what suits you.

What does a PPM system cost?

That depends on the solution, the number of users and the scope. As a reseller, we obtain the licences directly for you, and you receive a separate, transparent quote for implementation and customisation. The PPM Check gives you an initial assessment.

Can PPM be connected to SAP, Jira and our CRM?

Yes. We transfer recorded time to SAP, link projects with Jira and create projects directly from won deals in the CRM. That way nothing gets lost between sales and delivery.

How long does implementation take?

That depends on the scope. We start with the most important processes, such as the portfolio overview and resource planning, and then expand step by step.
