Platinum DB: Benefits Accelerators

As a SAP system integrator and SAP customer (we run our company with SAP software), we understand how Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) can impact a company’s decision to move forward with an SAP implementation. We also appreciate that achieving faster time-to-value drives the perceived and real acceptance of process improvement initiatives within your business user community. Increasingly corporate governance policies dictate that requestors build a compelling business case, showing a significant Return on Investment (ROI), before funds and resources are committed to their project.

Driven by the PDB ethos for continuous innovation we have progressively introduced accelerators designed to help customers achieve benefits that can be measured in terms of faster time-to-value, lower TCO, and a demonstrable ROI. These accelerators come in many forms from PDB’s Hybrid Agile / ASAP implementation methodology to creative software solution and all the services delivered through the Advanced Innovation Center (AIC).

In addition, we have developed a number of interfaces, and custom developments for SAP’s standard PPM solution. The interfaces and custom developments offer our customers an ‘a la carte’ roadmap to a comprehensive Enterprise Project and Portfolio Management (EPPM) solution for their business.
