Project business for financial systems is challenging
A growing project portfolio and increasing regulatory requirements for structured, verifiable processes led to the introduction of Projektron BCS in 2010.
The main aim was to ensure company-wide standards for project processes in planning, implementation and controlling. In addition, data management and artefacts were to be centralised and standardised in order to establish adequate reporting and controlling for all individual projects and thus also for the overall project portfolio.
A deeper comparison separates the wheat from the chaff
In a comparison of several solution approaches, it became clear during the selection process that only a few providers were able to provide a sufficiently mature level of technical project planning functions and interfaces to authorisation, personnel and financial systems. Projektron BCS ultimately prevailed in terms of functionality, quality and flexibility.
In addition, the BCS component model for individually licensable functions supported us in a step-by-step introduction.
Project professionalism with Projektron BCS
We have valued the functions and reliability of BCS in project use for years. We manage project portfolios with up to 250 projects per year.
We have been using Projektron BCS throughout the company since 2012. The regulatory requirements in particular can be fulfilled effectively with the help of Projektron BCS. This is important for us as a critical infrastructure company.
At the same time, we value the detailed project planning options for both individual projects and the overall project portfolio.
Time recording for employees and interfaces to HR and controlling systems round off the overall picture. We manage 100% of our personnel resources with the help of Projektron BCS.
In order to optimise our internal BCS support, we use a chatbot based on AI that is integrated into MS Teams. This makes it easier to answer many standard questions from employees about using Projektron BCS.
A good foundation for the future
Projektron BCS is now an established system for us, which is integrated into the everyday work of our employees. The level of satisfaction is high. Of course, this is also due to the continuous further development of Projektron BCS as part of the regular releases. The configuration options ensure ongoing adaptation to changing company structures and new processes.
