The Challenge of Bringing SAP and P6 Together

Syncing information between the two systems

causes time and performance

challenges

• Delays in decision making due to long sync times and large volumes of data

• Each system has different sets of data that are not connected

• The result is multiple distinct and different version of the truth which makes it difficult to plan with the risk of missing deadlines

PROJECT MANAGERS &PLANT MAINTENANCE

• Time consuming and manual effort to exchange data between SAP ERP and Primavera P6, often with out-dated technology

IT

• Cannot optimize the financial management of cash flow as day to day planning is not accurate

INTEGRATED PROJECT MANAGEMENT

Tightly integrates SAP and Primavera P6 systems to ensure project, MRP, and

financial information is always up to date.

SYNCHRONIZATION OF SYSTEMS

Using HANA Smart Data Integration (SDI) Rizing Carbon automatically keeps project

systems in sync and allows for manual sync for more immediate needs.

DESIGNED FOR END USER

A simple Fiori based UI allows users to easily setup and manage integration

with rich data governance and security functionality.
