Planview OpenSuite - Integration with Portfolio Management

Out-of-the-box interoperability between Planview Enterprise and the systems you rely on every day

The benefits of integrating portfolio management with the IT and business systems you use daily are clear: you get a one-stop-shop for increasing transparency into the status of projects, programs, and products, collaborating and communicating about projects, and relating the value of services and work back to corporate financials and planning.

But getting portfolio management to speak the language of corporate systems, ERP, Application Lifecycle Management(ALM), IT, and Product Lifecycle Management (PLM), is often easier said than done in the reality of heterogeneous environments where replacing familiar tools is impracticable nor desired, and where homegrown integrations don't scale with new versions of critical systems.

Your Solution: Planview OpenSuite
