SIG's Requirements
Requirement 1: Effective Resource Allocation for R&D Projects
The ability to allocate resources effectively and promptly was the most important task facing SIG. It could significantly impact the success or failure of projects, as inefficient resource allocation can lead to a cascade of problems for project managers.
Requirement 2: Timesheet for Efficient Labour Cost Control
Traditional timesheet reporting can be a cumbersome and resource-intensive process for many organisations, offering limited value beyond payroll calculations. The pmo365 timesheet app goes beyond data collection, leveraging timesheet information to optimise enterprise performance and align with strategic objectives.
Requirement 3: Cost and Financial Control
Managing and monitoring various types of costs, including labour, capital expenditures (CAPEX), and operational expenditures (OPEX) is vital for optimising investments in new products. With pmo365, initial cost estimates can be established, financial forecasts updated based on current project performance, and approved budgets set for different project phases and activities.
Requirement 4: Integration with SAP for Seamless Control
pmo365's connection to ERPs such as SAP enables organisations to integrate data from project management and timesheets applications with financials in ERPs for full visibility and control of labour and non-labour costs.
Requirement 5: Visibility and Reporting
pmo365 offers a wide range of reports and dashboards across all levels of projects, programs, and portfolios, providing insights into their health and performance.

pmo365 Outcomes
pmo365 is the optimal way to digitise project portfolio management within your organisation. It removes the administrative overhead of collecting data and provides invaluable insights: it becomes your centralised, single source of truth.
This enhanced visibility and control can be systematically achieved through 3 tactics.
Tactic 1: Implementation of pmo365 Apps
Deploying our specialised Apps, designed to support project portfolio management within your organisation. These Apps facilitate better planning, execution, and monitoring of projects, ensuring alignment with your strategic objectives.
Tactic 2: Integration with Key Business Systems
Establishing seamless integrations with critical data sources and business applications, such as Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems, asset management platforms, or other work management tools. This integration ensures that all relevant data is accessible and synchronized across various departments, enhancing decision-making capabilities.
Tactic 3: Transition from Standalone Files to Integrated Solutions
Phasing out the use of isolated files such as Excel spreadsheets, Word documents, and PowerPoint presentations that are maintained by your staff. Replacing these with more robust, integrated solutions that promote real-time data sharing, reduce manual errors, and improve overall efficiency and collaboration within your team.
The Future: It Doesn’t End Here
The successful implementation and adoption of pmo365 for SIG has delivered top-down visibility, reliable PPM processes, and insights to drive smarter and timely project investment decisions.
SIG Group is now looking to expand pmo365, by integrating it with SAP and using components of Microsoft’s PPM toolset to develop, manage and track different roadmaps, directly linked to the SIG Group’s strategic pillars and objectives.
