TPG PSLink© 2022 is a middleware product that enables multi-directional data exchange between different systems in the project management environment. Common use cases are the integration of well-known project management software such as Microsoft Project Server, Project Online, Jira, and DevOps with each other and with other systems such as SAP, SharePoint (including its Online version), and Dynamics AX. With the latest tests, TPG PSLink© has now been certified for the fourth time for SAP connectivity following the 2013, 2016, and 2019 certifications. The integration certification issued in 2022 was the first for SAP S/4HANA (version 2021) data technology, the successor to SAP R/3.
Twenty-two extensive use cases covering over 50 business functions (known as BAPIs) were specified, involving the five SAP modules PS, CO, CATS, HR, and PM. The use cases involved: employee master data, CO master data, WBS structures, networks, maintenance orders, CO internal orders, primary cost planning, activity input, revenue planning, CATS time confirmation, allocation and export of CO activity allocation, and cost documents.
"The implementations of our solutions for project, resource, and portfolio management are usually very extensive and are oriented to our customers’ required processes. The ability to integrate data from new and legacy systems is a key factor. These require links to various SAP modules. The message we’re sending to our customers is that the entire range of relevant SAP integration points has been re-certified," says Stavros Georgantzis, managing partner of TPG The Project Group.
The integration of project management, ERP, and other systems is an essential factor contributing to the efficient use and acceptance of a project management solution. It ensures that those involved – including project managers, team leaders, and accountants – can work with the tool best suited to their job function and can always access up-to-date, relevant data from other systems. TPG PSLink© ensures multi-directional data exchange between two or more systems and the consistency of the synchronized data.
