Working with EMC, PlanView will launch a new solution for Enterprise Project Collaboration, leveraging EMC Documentum eRoom enterprise collaboration capabilities integrated with PlanView's project portfolio management (PPM) software.

"PlanView and EMC each recognize the need for a joint solution that delivers market-leading project and portfolio management with powerful collaboration capabilities," said Tod Klubnik, senior vice president of sales and business development at PlanView. "This solution combines the best of both worlds-structured processes and best practices for project, portfolio and resource management along with flexible, unstructured collaboration."
"This relationship facilitates the connection of important interrelated collaboration areas," said Barry Ruditsky, vice president of business development at EMC Software. "Integrating PlanView's project portfolio management solution with EMC Documentum eRoom will improve customers' ability to manage risk and execution across their entire project portfolio, as well as forecast necessary skills, improve the communication between business sponsors and project delivery teams and, ultimately, provide executive visibility throughout the project lifecycle."
