Planview OpenSuite

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, Business Service Management, Application Lifecycle Management, and productivity applications, 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

The Planview OpenSuite family of offerings provides out-of-the-box interoperability of Planview Enterprise and the IT and business systems you rely on every day.

Now, you can easily share data between disparate systems to make the most informed decisions, while enabling those systems to do what they do best -- automate processes, eliminate manual and duplicate data entry effort, support audit trail requirement, and more -- without dedicating scarce technical resources to the often arduous task of integration.

Planview OpenSuite provides interoperability via:

The Planview OpenSuite Interoperability Platform

Embedded in Planview Enterprise, the Planview Opensuite Interoperability Platform delivers out-of-the-box connectivity to 200+ enterprise applications, like SAP and Oracle, and enables custom integrations into homegrown systems.
