Primavera is the preferred platform!

Critical requirements: Support increased day-to-day project management Provide standard project execution structure for planning & monitoring in Projects & Logistics for all regions Enable capacity planning and resource forecasting for equipment/manpower/components across projects Support long-term planning of cross-project uncertainties through what-if scenarios (Not Possible in SAP/PS)

IT infrastructure

We were first movers on a large number of users on the web interface. Needed some rework and specialist involvement involvement. Performance decreases with the increased number of users. Continued development by IT is required

Wrong assumption

Planning and scheduling: PMs must do that! No! Americas knew that and hired planners. Now we are hiring planners in the rest of the world

Other experiences

Keeping projects updated with progress is not to be underestimated! Monitoring and follow up is critical Roles and Responsibilities must be clearly defined It must be easy to use a tool, or it will not be used Documentaion is critical! You Y must plan t develop your support staff yourself, so prepare in time t l to d l t t ff lf i ti

Todays status

1835 users totally spread across all of our organisation Primavera is widely accepted and Management have realized the potential Increased demands from the market require more and better project- and portfolio Management Ongoing changes to the organisation forces continued selling

It was the right thing to do!
