Q3_Selection of SAP PS or SAP cProjects_High-tech Industry PLM Implementation Issues

[Former Member]

Hello,

We are implementing SAP PLM for a high-tech company which designs and manufactures mobile phones (ODM). Since we are new in PLM consulting and we are facing with some implementation difficulties, we are looking for some solutions here.

Question 3: Selection of SAP PS or SAP cProjects

Customer Requirements：

• Basic project scheduling and monitoring.
• The responsible person of certain task receive notification automaticly when the task is started.
• Check the costs and profits at different phases.

As far as we know, SAP PS and SAP cProjects both can achieve these requirements. And customer prefer SAP cProjects because it is easier to use.  But if we decide to implement cProjects some difficulties will occur : how can we integrate cProjects with costs? how to optimize the NWBC client because it's not working quite smoothly now.

Is it really suitable for the customer to use cProjects. Can anyone tell the advantages and disadvantages between SAP PS and SAP cProjects when it is working with developing projects of high-tech industry.

Best Regards

Yemi

Hi,

you should use the Project Management piece in SAP PPM (former cProjects). You can tie this into PS in the background as well for cost related needs.
