Learn how Project Partners Reporting gives Project Managers comprehensive project reporting from Oracle E-Business Suite Projects applications in a handy Microsoft Excel workbook. Project Managers can easily and quickly download data to review key project metrics, financial amounts, and drill-down from project to task to the lowest level of cost/revenue data and charts of key data. The project schedule with baseline and current dates and progress can be viewed in Gantt Chart format. Even better, users can review all project performance data either while connected to their enterprise network, or they can save the workbook and work in disconnected mode, updating Oracle Applications when they re-connect.  Register today for the live webinar on Wednesday, June 9, 2010 at 10:00 AM PDT / 1:00 PM EDT
