Presentation Abstract (Information Only)
The PerkinElmer success story provides a Blueprint for
how to incrementally implement SAP PPM by navigating
a defined, though flexible, roadmap (2010 – 2017), while
taking into account organizational needs and maturity.
The PerkinElmer solution leverages the Excel interfaces
with SAP Analysis for Office to provide a familiar UX to
its business and engineering users. The presenters will
describe architecture, essential building blocks,
incremental approach for any robust PPM system and
overlay with PPM maturity curve.
