OpenText Project and Portfolio Management is an integrated solution of multiple modules that help organizations manage their projects, portfolios, resources and financial deliverables.
We don't use Micro Focus PPM, but we implement it for our clients. It is primarily used for project management, but some of my customers use it to manage sales processes and service requests.

The bank purchased PPM in 2016 because our system was out of support. We decommissioned that and switched to Micro Focus PPM. We have the full suite covering project management, work plans, risk management, and project issues. We've done a lot of customization to the bank's requirements. We work with a PPM vendor partner and their developers. When we want enhancements or new features, we work with them to deploy the changes. We work closely with the developers for preliminary testing and user acceptance testing. After it goes live, we do another round of testing. We do a lot of financials as well. When we work with the project managers to manage their resourcing requirements, it's built into the staffing profile of each project record that we load into PPM. They translate to a labor forecast calculation automatically. The project managers can also manage their forecasts so they can manually update them directly into their project records.
We have activated multiple modules of the solution, such as Demand Management, Resource Management, Time Management, and Project Management. We have done some customizations on the workflows for all of the modules.

As an administrator in our organization, I use it for provisioning, configuring different request types, workflows, and making adjustments therein; things on the higher-end side. As an organization, we use it for project management and defect tracking. We also use it for time tracking. That's one of the reasons we rolled it out to the cloud. We are also starting to get into program and portfolio management, which are things we hadn't done in the past.
