Project Management is completely dependent
upon correct and timely information regarding existing project execution plan,
schedule, scope of work (design), progress, etc. In a large project the amount
of people affected by or concerned with management data, is relatively large. To
service all these people with correct information and to handle the large amount
of data, more companies have found out that is difficult to decide upon the one
and only software which supports Project Management perfectly. Many project
managers are used to work with Microsoft Project, and SAP is a company wide
solution, which integrates all areas, like cost accounting, purchase,
production, material, personnel administration and critical resources. Mps is an
interface to MSProject and SAP R/3 PS which allows you the access to data and
functions of both systems. This can be particularly helpful if you do some of
your project planning with MSProject, but still want to be to integrate it into
your enterprise planning in the R/3 System. This way you receive the advantages
of a graphical user interface on your computer and the full power of the
PS-module of R/3. All Microsoft Project reports and filter possibilities can be
used instead of an expensive, customer specific ABAP/4 programming in SAP.
