SAP Portfolio and Project Management

Instead of using Microsoft Project Management tools, we thought of utilizing the SAP Solution Manager ITPPM feature that enables Project managers to create projects, define project plans, create milestones, mitigate issues & risks during the project, assign resources to the corresponding project and manage the time efforts of the resources.

• Project Management.

• No additional cost for 3rd party Project Management tools.
• 20% cost saved.

Microsoft Project

ServiceNow IT Service Management

We use this software to manage employee information and project information. IT houses all necessary documents, approvals, and other various business-related paperwork. It also is used to book employee travel (flight, hotel, car) and submit travel for approval. It sends travel for approval to a few different parties before booking.

• Travel booking
• Vacation/time trackers

• Positive - it keeps track of approvals well (travel, vacation).

Ziflow, Jira Software

We used SAP Portfolio and Project Management to keep track of some product development projects as well as keep track of projects for customers. At the core, it is meant to track everything, from project calendars and charts to budgets, to the status of stages. Essentially an all-in-one solution for knowing what is what and when things will be expected.

• Project schedule
• Budget

• It was more of a headache to use then the benefit we received.
