CIBER Feature Presentation at ASUG Public Sector Conference

Project and Capital Management at the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission through Project Systems Integration

Public Sector entities have some unique requirements with regard to project management, with the need to track and control funding sources, report to other government agencies and maintain public access to information. Combine these demands with increased resource pressures, and the need for an integrated system that reduces data maintenance and improves productivity is critical. This presentation will outline how the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission is implementing the Project Systems module of SAP, and taking advantage of the integration this module has with other modules, so as to better enable their program and project management processes.
