The system is old, so there are several issues that arise when we fetch data from integrated systems. Sometimes the data gets stuck, and there are instances where we need to access multiple pieces of information simultaneously. This creates problems that I have personally experienced. Therefore, these aspects need to be much more free-flowing and seamless. If something gets stuck, it takes time to resolve, and during the contract phase, we have Service Level Agreements (SLAs). If those SLAs are breached, it becomes problematic. Given that there are approximately 3000 projects running concurrently worldwide, utilizing the system with a vast database and numerous activities taking place. It could benefit from decentralization. Currently, it operates as a central system, but if it could be centralized for specific subsidiaries, it would be easier for us to manage.

The platform integration with SAP finance systems has unified language and criteria, reducing the time for growth periods and ensuring international financial control and management. The resource management feature has benefited team collaboration and management, especially in understanding different business processes and decision-making across enterprises. I rate it an eight out of ten.

I would tell potential users that they must see the big picture. The main problem in my department is that I can't make group resource management in SAP products because I have a tool which is called Jira in other departments. Looking at the big picture before buying a product is my advice to others. On a scale from one to ten, I would give SAP Portfolio and Project Management a seven.
