By facilitating rapid and accurate decision-making, CA PPM helps ensure teams execute on time and achieve goals within budget,” the company said. “Successful business and technology leaders require management insights across a number of disciplines.  Unfortunately, these types of insights are typically fragmented across a patchwork of applications and desktop tools, making decision-making and trend analysis difficult and slow,” said James Harvey, general manager, IT Business Management, CA Technologies. “CA PPM’s new business intelligence capability gives leaders and managers the insights that support integrated thinking and decision making – resulting in better business execution.” The new release of CA PPM introduces “the first and only integrated Business Intelligence capability for PPM – synthesizing the Project, Product and Financial insights organizations need to take action without sacrificing performance.” CA PPM provides a built-in data warehouse. Requiring no configuration or customisation, it delivers the first embedded PPM/Business Intelligence experience of its kind – enabling business, strategy and IT teams to focus on informed planning and disciplined execution of their portfolios. An exclusive field mapping capability gives governance stakeholders the key financial, resource and project details in one single plan.
