well done PPM
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Budget approval process is lack of consistancy. PPM demand and portfolio management module shaving this out. Project control is weak and not in standard. PPM project resource and financial management module help filling the gap. The software architecture is improved to not required ORACLE database as prerequisite which help reduce the cost. OpenText allows postgresql the free one.
