We often hear from senior executives and managers that they don’t know if a project is successful and profitable until after the project is complete. This is no way to run a business. In addition, many of them are making important business decisions that are based on inaccurate and unreliable data. This leads to issues that get overlooked causing project delays or budget overruns.
When delivering projects to your customers or managing projects internally is an important component of your business, it only makes sense to find a solution that’s built specifically to manage the business of those projects. As mentioned in a previous blog, project lifecycle management is crucial to ensuring different departments and stakeholders involved with a project are streamlined and everyone is on the same page. This is extremely challenging, if almost impossible, when managing projects through a disparate landscape of different point solutions that are not integrated with one another.
The Problem with Purchasing Different Solutions to Fill the Gap
Successful companies understand the importance of managing all their project processes and business requirements at each stage in an integrated fashion. This ensures projects are delivered on time and on budget.
However, many current project solutions do not provide a comprehensive project lifecycle management solution. For example, SAP Project Systems is effective at managing the execution of projects but does not include a solution to manage the project financials. Most likely, companies manage their financials in spreadsheets or other point solution to fill the gap.
When you have information spread out in different applications, most likely you have to deploy massive amounts of resources to consolidate and integrate all the data to provide meaningful information. More specifically, all the operation and financial data tend to be manually integrated, often leading to mistakes.
Better Decision Making Based on Accurate Data
Project Business Automation (PBA) encompasses project lifecycle management. It’s a comprehensive, all-in-one solution that manages the business of projects. When dealing with large, complex projects it’s imperative everyone in the company is operating from one source of truth. Failing to do so is not only a waste of time, money, and resources, but damaging to the business as a whole.
