The new product enhances the links between projects, enabling transparent, cross-project interconnections between milestones and tasks.

Additional information is communicated to ensure greater transparency, especially in large project portfolios that include several interdependencies. MilestoneLink is available now from TPG.

Download whole press release (PDF 100 KB) --- April 11, 2005: PSLink 3.0 - New Version of the World’s Leading Integration Between Microsoft Project and SAP/R3 The Project Group GmbH (TPG), one of Germany’s premier providers of add-in products, consulting services, and training for Microsoft Enterprise Project Management (EPM), today announced Version 3.0 of its flagship PSLink® product. PSLink is the world’s leading interface between Microsoft Project and SAP/R3. Using PSLink, customers can synchronize project data in both directions between the two market-leading environments; simplify several tasks; and eliminate the risk of errors, because data administration in both systems is unnecessary. Version 3.0 of PSLink will be available shortly in its Standard Edition (SE) and Controlling Edition (CE). The Standard Edition, PSLink 3.0 SE comprises a detailed, rule-based integration between Microsoft Project and SAP, and can be tailored to the requirements of individual customers using its configuration parameters and additional programming. PSLink 3.0 SE fulfills all the prerequisites of common project management tasks, such as deadline and resource planning and SAP-related tasks like the initial cost planning carried out in Microsoft Project. It supports all objects in SAP’s project management module, including WBS elements, networks, and network activities. Customers do not need to worry about whether actual hours were entered in SAP via CATS and are visible to the project manager in Microsoft Project, or whether the entire planning process was carried out in Microsoft Project. The PSLink integration between the two systems ensures that the data is always synchronized and up-to-date on both sides.
In the Controlling Edition, PSLink 3.0 CE, SAP acts as a back-end system for financial controlling activities, while project management tasks are executed solely with Microsoft Project. PSLink 3.0 CE supports both WBS elements and WBS milestones. WBS structures are synchronized using the Microsoft Project outline or with an outline code definition. For accounting purposes, costs and work can be summarized into a balance based on WBS element and controlling indicators per fiscal year period. For example, staff costs might be summarized by WBS element, cost center, and activity type per month and business year. In contrast to the Standard Edition, PSLink 3.0 CE is suited to specific types of application and includes a comprehensive configuration options. Both versions verify data for SAP-related rules and restrictions before they transfer the information to the other system. A differential analysis function ensures that only the actual changes are transferred. Further highlights of both PSLink3.0 SE and CE include: PSLink has been in use by several global enterprises for many years.

(PPT, 1.6 MB) --- The Project Group, one of Germany’s
premier providers of add-in products and consulting services
for Microsoft Enterprise Project Management (EPM), today
announced ResourceLink, the company’s new data integration
module. The Project Group is known for its unique and
innovative EPM add-ins, and this product is no exception.
ResourceLink contributes to productivity improvements by
accelerating the import of data from different sources into
Microsoft Project Server. ResourceLink will start shipping
at the beginning of 2005. ResourceLink enables customers to
import data from any combination of sources, including
Navision, SAP, Active Directory, SQL Server, LDAP, and file
systems. ResourceLink is unlike other existing products for
importing resource data because: The development team at The Project
Group put particular emphasis on the speed of
synchronization while they were developing the XML-based
product. Before the real data is imported, customers can
perform a simulation to test the process, and each task is
documented with detailed log files to facilitate analysis
afterwards. “While we were developing the
SAP Connector Solution Starter for Microsoft, we had the
idea of developing a really powerful and centralized product
for importing data from several sources,” said Johann
Strasser, The Project Group’s president and development
director. “ResourceLink meets a widespread need for
companies to make productivity gains by automating the
update process.”
