, Munich, Germany – TPG The Project Group, a full-service provider of enterprise-wide project management, recently had its flagship product TPG PSLink tested to update its Microsoft Gold Partner status in the Independent Software Vendor (ISV) competency. It passed the compatibility tests for Windows 7 und Windows Server 2008 R2 successfully. TPG PSLink, an interface between SAP and Microsoft Project Server, enables project managers and financial controllers to use their preferred tool while ensuring that they are working with the same version of the data. TPG PSLink eliminates the need to carry out data administration twice because it keeps the two systems synchronized in the background.

With the ISV/Software competency, Microsoft recognizes selected partners that develop and sell standardized software products based on Microsoft technologies. The Gold status is the highest level in this competency. TPG PSLink achieved it by passing demanding tests that evaluated the interface between Microsoft Project Server and SAP to ensure it works with Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2. The Gold status also required TPG The Project Group to provide additional information, including a larger number of customer references using TPG PSLink.

TPG PSLink, which is certified by SAP, is the world’s leading product for integrating Microsoft Project and SharePoint with SAP. The product is backed by over twelve years’ intensive development work. TPG PSLink enables bidirectional data sharing between the two market-leading systems Microsoft Project and SAP. It ensures that all the data exchanged between the two environments are kept completely synchronized at all times, using extensive verification mechanisms to check the information. Before synchronizing the data, a difference analysis shows the changes to be made and only these changes are transferred to the other system.

Until 31 December 2011, TPG The Project Group is offering a proof-of-concept of TPG PSLink at an attractive fixed price. It enables companies to validate for themselves that the integration works in their own specific SAP environment. Further information is available at www.theprojectgroup.com/aktion
