OpenText Project and Portfolio Management vs. SAP PPM

For Project Management, Micro Focus PPM includes all most every feature you need. You can manage your projects using work plans, project health, resource assignments, actuals, and costs. Additionally, you can get required approvals with workflows like sponsor approval or CR approvals. However, at project costing we need to make customizations due to lack of several outsource costs on it.

With SAP PPM is an amazing experience to manage production projects, data analytics productions are also effective as well as reporting on multiple operations from different projects and a very great system for our team to collaborate for profitable project outcome and easy file management.
