Integrating project management with ERP

Addressing the need to simultaneously gain insight into the operational and financial aspects of business, Impress Software and Primavera Systems have struck a deal to provide business process integration between project management and ERP systems.

Under the agreement, the companies will use the Impress Engine to connect Primavera project management and SAP solutions for customers.

The Impress Engine connects planning and budgeting details, progress and performance information and resource requirements from Primavera with procurement, cost control, financial reporting, accounting and payment processing from SAP. The bi-directional exchanges of project information means companies can be sure that defined processes are followed across all projects and across the enterprise, the companies say.
