SAP Portfolio and Project Management

Do the right projects, the right way – with our project portfolio management software

Complete quality work on schedule and within budget – with efficient project portfolio management (PPM). Our PPM software gives you robust tools to centrally manage the full project lifecycle, from forecasting and planning to tracking and accounting. It can help you invest the right resources in the right projects – and align strategy with business objectives.

Why SAP Portfolio and Project Management?

Because the PPM software can help you profitably develop new products and services – maximizing resources and speeding time to market. Get flexible support for your key processes, from project planning to closure, and seamlessly integrate financial and logistic information.

  • Align initiatives with strategic goals to demonstrate – and increase – their value
  • Balance your portfolio based on risk, business objectives, and investment type
  • Identify project anomalies and risks, and make midcourse adjustments
  • Better allocate resources by capturing, prioritizing, and matching demand to available supply
  • Streamline and enforce approvals for funding, resources, gate decisions, and ongoing evaluations
  • Lower TCO with pre-built, services-based integration to disparate back-end systems
