Are you wondering what the buzz around Project Financial Management (PFM), part of the Project Portfolio Management suite, is all about?
Imagine unprecedented financial visibility and control over your projects, services such as project creation and reporting, and integration with procurement and accounts payable. Now imagine having it all in less time than it takes for system design on a typical on-premises project.
In our webinar, we presented what you need to know about PFM, including:
-Key benefits and features in PFM R11
-Modern best practices
-Key components for a successful implementation
-How to keep implementation costs low
We closed with a real-world success story and shared the benefits realized with PFM.
