You open the projects in clarity - it then translates to project or worknench, when saved it feeds back to your clarity data, easy. You can open multple projects and schedule. There’s some peolpe on this forum, who appear to beexperts in everything, even when don’t have the system, gies a break.

Hi Mimoune,

I understood Douglas that it does not schedule but uses MS Project or Open Workbench.

If so it is a reporting and analysis tool.



Besides, for portfolio management it is necessary to be able to reschedule the whole portfolio considering portfolio constraints. For this task MS Project will not help.



Best Regards,

Vladimir

Hi - Clarity is a portfolo management tool. It manages all your projects, from costs, resources, risks, issues etc. it also opens up open workbench or project for scheduling if needed, and interfaces with SAP financials if required. Can be cumberum at the start, but you get used to it - good luck

Hi Douglas

Many years ago I’ve heard of it. It was mainframe-based. I don’t believe, CA (Computer Associates) still sells it today. About 2 years ago CA purchased the almost bankrupt company Niku, who had a tool for resource planning and later they called it project management. Niku was strong in CRM. That’s the origin of their resource planning. As far as I remember, it is completely web-based.

May be British Telecom was a customer - I’m not sure.

Regards
