SAP R/3 is the primary enterprise resource planning system used by major global corporations. SAP offers unparalled control over resources and costs.

Primavera is a world class project management application. It offers flexibility and performance for scheduling, resource leveling and managing activities related to major projects.

Together, these two systems are used to run, manage and control the world’s biggest and most complex projects. World class management of large scale capital projects, plant maintenance, and plant turnarounds, shutdowns and outages requires that these two systems work well together.

SAP is the master of cost management and material management and Primavera is used scheduling. This creates a significant need to integrate the data between these two systems so projects stay synchronized.

Key SAP information, such as resource and material availability, needs to be provided to project managers and work schedulers working in Primavera to improve their effectiveness during project planning, scheduling, and execution activities.

Scheduling, resources, material management and time information need to flow between the two systems to ensure that the project can be completed as planned.
