Primavera® Inspire Becomes an SAP-Endorsed Business Solution
Primavera Systems, Inc. announced that its Primavera Inspire® product is now an SAP-endorsed business solution. Solutions endorsed by SAP AG are complementary to SAP® software offerings, are developed in accordance with SAP development guidelines, and provide additional choices and flexibility for businesses running SAP applications.
Through Primavera’s integration module, Primavera Inspire, executives and project managers of large capital projects and maintenance operations can align resource, schedule and financial information between SAP’s project management and plant maintenance solutions and the Primavera P6 product. This ability provides executives with a deep understanding of both past and expected project performance and enables users to make decisions with confidence that the data used is aligned within both systems. Primavera P6 enables project-driven organizations to make accurate business forecasts with complete visibility into key project milestones, deadlines and resources.
“SAP’s endorsement of Primavera Inspire gives organizations a best-of-breed project and resource management solution that builds on the efficiencies and business insight that they have already gained from their SAP project management and plant maintenance solutions,” said Dean Edmundson, AVP Technology Alliances & Business Development at Primavera. “Customers will be better able to deliver tangible results back to the business.”
Customers who use Primavera products together with SAP solutions will benefit from the following:
• Accurate and timely forecasting of costs, schedules and resources to completion;
• Enterprise-wide project transparency; and
• Consistent on-time, on-budget project delivery.
As part of the endorsed business solution agreement between Primavera and SAP, both companies will share technology and product roadmaps, as well as market Primavera Inspire. The solution now endorsed by SAP previously achieved “Powered by SAP NetWeaver®” status.
“By endorsing solutions such as Primavera Inspire, SAP is building an ecosystem to drive the adoption of service-oriented architecture while extending its core offerings,” said Rich DiMeo, business development director, SAP for Engineering, Construction and Operations, Industry Solutions. Primavera Inspire provides project-intensive companies consistent information across SAP’s project management and plant maintenance solutions, and Primavera’s project scheduling solution. Leveraging market-leading solutions from both SAP and Primavera enables customers to improve employee productivity and accelerate the delivery of on-time and on-budget projects.”
