10 February 2010: FREQUENTIS implements TPG PSLink to integrate Microsoft Project Server with SAP

Project management and accounting staff now work with an improved, common database

Since late 2009, the air traffic control systems provider Frequentis has been working with TPG PSLink, which integrates Microsoft Project with SAP. The company has also implemented Microsoft Project Server 2007. The solution enables project managers to seamlessly share data with the finance department. Frequentis decided on TPG PSLink after a rigorous selection procedure. The solution integrates several systems and has been running since September 2009. It is slated to go into production this year. The TPG solution allows project leaders to work with their project management tool, and accounting staff with SAP, while sharing data with each other. As users no longer have to enter the same data in two different systems, the integration solution has enjoyed rapid acceptance. It runs unobtrusively in the background and has improved data quality while providing management with a flexible reporting solution.
