Primavera AIA Integration with PIPs
- 1. AIA P6 integration w/JDE & EBS 10.29.09
- 2. Enterprise Business Challenge Limited Primavera/ERP integration
- 3. Oracle AIA Integration
- 4. How We Can Help Solve Today’s Business and Project Management Challenges Increased business, project and IT complexity and uncertainty Lack of understanding of the real status of projects Relentless pressure to do more with less, and with no rework or waste Competitive need to complete projects faster, cheaper, and with higher quality AGILITY PRODUCTIVITY PREDICTABILITY EFFICIENCY
Editor's Notes
- Without integration: Inconsistent and incomplete project and cost data Lack of an integrated view of the project portfolio Incomplete reporting and decision support Inefficiencies from duplicate effort Limited business and project agility
- If your organization is like most, projects are taking place all over the company. They are becoming more complex. They involve people from different lines of business and functional groups, and those people are likely spread out around the world. Plus those projects need to be done quickly, efficiently, and create value for the business. [Build 1] But like most businesses it’s hard to connect all of the different people and processes in a way that delivers that value. Information resides in a variety of disconnected systems. The cost information that accounting has doesn’t match the budgets and remaining costs in the project system. HR has no visibility into the types of skills that will be needed on the projects that are in the pipeline. Procurement doesn’t know that a project was just delayed, and therefore a key purchase doesn’t need to be made for several months. And no one realizes that there was a significant shift in strategy which directly impacts the priorities of the projects that are underway. [Build 2] The result is that non strategic projects are receiving funding and resources even though they won’t produce the expected returns. Project budgets are overrunning because people with the wrong skills are taking longer to complete their assigned work. And worse yet, the most skilled resources are burning out because they have been stretched too thinly across multiple projects. And, of course, executives really have no idea how much the projects have spent, how much it will cost to complete them, and when they will finally be done. So not only are the business processes fragmented, so are the applications. This further complicates things where project goals can be misinterpreted, resources are not fully utilized, costs are not accurately reflected and reported, and project team members are spending their time looking for the information they need rather than doing the work. This is where Oracle comes in. We recognize that the project portfolio management system must be connected to the other systems in your enterprise, because business processes and project data naturally fit within a variety of systems. The right hand must know what the left hand is doing. Our goal is to enable our customers to achieve tremendous efficiencies and improved productivity by connecting these processes and this information and to make it easy to standardize on a single, best-in-class platform. The combination of Primavera’s best-in-class project portfolio management with Oracle’s leading applications, middleware, and database technology offer the first, comprehensive enterprise PPM solution. No other vendor has been able to deliver on this vision for Enterprise Project Portfolio Management, yet customers have told us time and again that this would have tremendous value for them.
- Lets compare the traditional approach and AIA Approach Costly – Consumes large % of IT Budget Rigid – Lose Opportunities to Capitalize On Market Changes. If you make a change for one system you need make sure it doesn’t break anything in the other system. Not sustainable - Upgrades and Implementations of Any New Functionality “breaks” integrations. Whenever the new versions are released, IT has to spend more money to upgrade the integrations as well. Here is where AIA comes into picture. The “Simplied Infrastructure” is AIA. Affordable/Packaged – leverage your investments now and in future, with automatic versioning, install support and other goodies. Agile – Common framework extended to fit your needs. The AIA allows you to extend the solutions provided by Oracle in the form of Process Integration Packs. Sustainable – build once then reuse and configure as your needs change. Its very easy to add support for new versions of software as they are released. The versioning of AIA is independent of softwares its integrating. Eg., if P6 releases a new version, it can still work with existing versions of Ebiz and JDE, without breaking anything on the other side.
- Now let’s look more specifically at the Oracle P6 to EBS Projects Process Integration Pack, or PIP as we call it. As you can see on the slide companies are faced with silo’d business systems right now where they are duplicating a lot of effort in Primavera and EBS, but they are not sharing the common elements of their projects. They have to duplicate project creation, task creation and resource assignments, and keep track of the progress in both systems while only being able to capture the actual costs in the ERP. For the project manager this creates a knowledge gap in terms of where they are on the budget side of the project. For the accounting part, they know what the costs are but may not have the knowledge of what the progress is on the project. Neither piece of information is very useful without the other. In the gray area you can see our solution which is to bring together the best of both applications and keep the project data in synchronization. From sharing Global data in the ERP to the project creation and scheduling of resources, right through progressing the project and sharing actuals, the critical project information is shared between the applications and keeps the cost and schedule information together. This will lead to better decisions by project managers and the accountants.
