In practice<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Europe's leading electronics retailer<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t

The group manages its IT projects with OpenText PPM, using internal teams, freelancers and service providers. Together we rebuilt the monthly time tracking, and the data now flows straight into SAP. The month-end close now takes one and a half hours instead of nine.<\/p>\n\t\t

FAQ<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Frequently asked questions about OpenText PPM<\/h2>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n \t\t\t

Is OpenText PPM the same as Micro Focus PPM?<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Yes. Following OpenText's acquisition of Micro Focus, the product is now called OpenText Project and Portfolio Management. The cloud version is called OpenText Core Project and Portfolio Management.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

On-premise or SaaS: which is better?<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

That depends on your IT requirements. SaaS saves you the effort of operation and updates, while on-premise gives you maximum control over data and customisations. We give you impartial advice and implement both.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

What does OpenText PPM cost?<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

The cost depends on the modules, number of users and operating model. As a reseller, we procure the licences directly for you. For implementation and customisation, you receive a separate, transparent quote from us.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

OpenText PPM or PlainPPM?<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

OpenText PPM suits large organisations with many projects and programmes and high requirements for governance and finance. PlainPPM runs directly in Microsoft 365 and is ideal for a lean start.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

Can OpenText PPM be connected to SAP?<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Yes. For example, we transfer recorded time and costs to SAP, as for the electronics retailer above. Jira, Active Directory and your CRM can be connected too.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

Can you take over our existing PPM system?<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Yes. We get an overview of the version, configuration and interfaces, and then take over support, licences and further development.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/section>\n
