Optimised, Certified ProjectManagement for Engineering Companies

Industry solution based on SAP Business One for small and midsize engineering companies is certified by SAP

Cologne, 02/25/2009 In difficult economic times, it is vital for companies to work efficiently. Reducing costs while, at the same time, improving the quality is only possible if costs are transparent and can be tracked at any time.  MARINGO Computers therefore will present its project management solution for engineering companies at CeBIT, Hall 4, Stand D 12, Booth No. P4.13. The solution has achieved SAP-certified integration; is based on the SAP^® Business One application, the ERP software for small and midsize businesses; and has qualified as “Enabled by SAP Business One”.

The current version of ProjectManagement uses digital dashboards to deliver on-demand access to critical, real-time information. The software enables users, for example, at the touch of a button to visualise the employees' real utilisation compared with the planned capacity. Having a clear understanding of all project timelines and costs is especially important for companies conducting business in today's economic climate, which can help them to stay ahead of the competition.

Solutions that qualify as "Enabled by SAP Business One" include and build upon the functionality of SAP Business One, providing a value-added solution that meets industry-specific needs.  They are based on rigorous quality standards of SAP and tightly integrated with SAP Business One. The designation helps customers to identify partner add-on solutions that are designed for rapid and reliable implementations and are compliant with local legal and best practices requirements.
