Project Management Using Oracle Project Management and Spreadsheets
Project Partners, in conjunction with the OAUG Projects SIG, is hosting a webinar on October 22nd
Project-oriented organizations rely on project managers to manage project work, finances, progress, reporting, and to monitor the overall health of the project. Typically this transactional and performance reporting interaction is done via HTML web pages to a robust enterprise system such as Oracle Projects. However, since project managers must spend most of their time managing project work, and are therefore, only part-time users of enterprise applications, often they find the user interface difficult to assimilate.
Additionally, many project managers spend much of their time travelling, and therefore have considerable quantities of down-time that could be used for project analysis and management, but are unable to effectively do so since they are not networked to their enterprise environment.
The challenge is to provide a concise, yet robust means of interfacing with a comprehensive enterprise application such as Oracle Project Management that can also be taken offline when necessary to work in a disconnected mode.
This webinar looks at solutions to this problem by using desktop-based spreadsheets to provide a UI tailored to a specific group of end-users (project managers) that is focused on transactional as well as reporting requirements. These easy-to-use spreadsheets work seamlessly with data in Oracle, allowing the same data actions, and enforcing all security and business rules previously defined in Oracle Projects.
