Enterprise business platform, not just for IT service

“ITSM tools often do not work well for PPM leaders and PMOs charged with facilitating difficult decision making regarding the use of limited resources for project work. Pure-play PPM providers offer project reporting and the advanced planning needed to support this type of decision making.
For example, a glaring weakness in the “PPM” pieces of ITSM and other non-PPM providers is the inability to provide resource capacity planning and modeling that matches the sophistication of pure-play PPM providers identified in Gartner’s research.”

Methodology driven implementation services deliver rapid time to value and reduced costs

“For example, non-PPM providers staking a claim in the PPM space often assure their customers that the PPM capabilities they provide are all available “out of the box.” In reality, many organizations that commit to these vendors for their PPM technology learn later that many of the features and functions are not truly out of the box. Instead, good configurations end up requiring more customization to support PPM than would be expected.”
