© 2007 TPG America The Project Group Slide 3 Is Your Organization Struggling?  Is your project office being forced to manage projects based on financial or SAP requirements?  Does your organization operate in silos with your project office doing one thing and your operations/financial group doing another?  Does your financial group have a difficult time managing project operations due to poor project data in SAP?  Do your project managers complain that they have the burden of maintaining two sets of data for accounting?  Has your culture not accepted the current project management tool due to it ’ s complexities, and inability to adapt to the organization?  Are you struggling with your tools to produce the required data to effectively manage project operations?  Is generating project and portfolio reports is very time consuming and sometimes nearly impossible?  Does your organization continue dumping money into solutions that don ’ t add value to your organization?  Project operations are not efficient according to your expectations?

© 2007 TPG America The Project Group Slide 4 Scenarios When We Get Involved Three Company Scenarios You Probably Fall Into  No project management tools  Situation: Projects are managed at a high level in SAP by the financial group and in Microsoft Office by the project managers.  Implications: minimal value, NO visibility and transparency, NO valid financial information (up to SOX compliance issues)  Multiple PM Systems  Situation: Mixed landscape of tools, lots of ad-hoc solutions  Implications: Redundant data maintenance, expensive financial updates into SAP, minimal value out, no visibility to projects, portfolios or operations, no comprehensive project & portfolio reports.  SAP Project Systems/cProjects  Situation: SAP is/will be the platform for all types of project data  Implications: long implementation time, extensive configuration to replicate to business, changes are expensive and time consuming. It is still culturally unaccepted, and produces poor data due to complexity and culture.

© 2007 TPG America The Project Group Slide 11 How Do We Maximize Value Out of Your Systems Most organizations struggle with adapting to the rigid controls of using the SAP system but depend on the data to perform financial and management reporting TPG focuses on progressing the use of Microsoft and SAP by providing value in 4 ways:  Putting control BACK in your PM ’ s hands  Focusing on the BIG Picture  Decrease the administrative burden  Quality PM data = Quality MANAGEMENT data
