  • +  I Want it All! Project Management Accelerated
  • In the world of Enterprise Project Portfolio Management, project teams want to leverage the functionality found within the Oracle EBS Project Planning and Control (formerly "Project Management") module but are challenged by their operational environment and the delivered user interface. This delayed many implementation efforts until now. With the financial cutbacks many firms are experiencing, there is a growing need for visibility into the work being done that can be met with tools like Oracle Project Planning and Control but the initial problems of implementation effort and user needs remain. End Users are saying “I want it all, and I want it now.” But C-level executives are pressuring IT teams to deliver needed benefits to the operations group but at a reduced price point and on a faster time line. This whitepaper explains how IT can ensure career success by making both groups happy within a short timeline and with a small budget.
