Why SAP PPM? SAP Portfolio and Project Management is top rated by industry Bottom line: Benefits of a fully integrated, real time based system. Third party systems for PPM and ECC: Costly interface. Leads to reduced scope and not so real time information. The entire point of PPM is to give senior, portfolio and project managers information in time so that action can be effective. Why get into software development and interface a third party to ECC PS? ECC Project Systems due to multi level, multi objects creates complication to interface return of third party system diminished due to loss of real time and interface development and maintenance.
