SAP Enterprise Project and Portfolio Management (EPPM) BTP and ChatGPT driven scoring and prioritization solution and how to get a better return on your investment.


During the customer SAP Value engineering process, customers ask questions like “how do I justify my investment in SAP EPPM?   Our answer, AI driven portfolio optimization. 


Utilizing our optimization solution, customers can set up a flexible scoring algorithm, change the algorithm as needed, simulate scoring projects, and establish a flexible approval process. Exhibit A provides an overview of the AI Driven Portfolio Optimization Flow.

Managing a portfolio of capital ideas and active projects can be a challenging endeavor. SAP Customers must rebalance their portfolio(s)periodically due to economic changes in the marketplace.

 

Customers can now create risk and related surveys in the Cloud.  The surveys can be completed by one or more participants. The survey results can be integrated into SAC analytics and SAC Planning and Budgeting prioritization financial models. The surveys can be utilized for Capital, IT, Revenue, and R&D projects. Users can define their own risk surveys/questions, answers, and scoring models.  

 

The risk models can be assigned to project types.  The risk survey questions can be included in the workflow.  The risk scores are visible in Platinum DB's project and portfolio management prioritization workbench. 

During the customer EPPM SAP Value engineering process, customers ask Platinum DB and SAP questions like “how do I justify my investment in SAP EPPM?   Our answer, the EPPM Workbench. 

The EPPM Workbench is the central cockpit for driving key financial processes. The finance team can perform mass update events such as month-end, forecasting, forecasting snap-shots at the portfolio level.  Finance has the option to import/export data to S4/HANA.
