With SAP Resource and Portfolio Management, your organization gains the following benefits:

• Tighter alignment with organizational objectives – Score initiatives on their support for strategic objectives consistently and accurately, so you can demonstrate – and increase – their value to the business.
• Maximized portfolio value with optimal balance – Select, win, and retain desirable projects while maintaining a balanced portfolio based on acceptable risk, changing business objectives, and varied investment types.
• Increased transparency and better decisions – Unify information from SAP and non-SAP sources, enabling stakeholders to identify underperforming or overlapping projects, risks, and resource bottlenecks sooner and make midcourse adjustments.
• Better resource utilization – Capture demand for resources, prioritize it, and match it to the available supply in your HR and financial systems. The appropriate source – internal, contract, outsourced, or offshore – can be determined, lowering costs while ensuring that critical activities are staffed most effectively.
• Improved, expedited portfolio governance – Automated, role-based workflow streamlines and enforces approval for funding, resource assignments, gate decisions, and ongoing evaluations. SAP RPM supports Sarbanes-Oxley sections 302 and 404 to ensure that organizations comply with regulatory requirements. Corporate, new product development, and IT investment policies can be enforced enterprise-wide using rigorous process controls backed up by workflow.
