Two Sides of the Same Coin: Capital Projects - ENC Projects

 

Managing capital projects is indeed the same as managing ENC projects. The main difference is the viewpoint of the party that actually manages a capital project, whether it is the owner or a contractor doing that job. The big picture and the detailed tasks at hand are the same. The overall project management process can therefore not be optimized unless both perspectives are taken into consideration.  

 

Scenarios for managing capital projects with SAP and Primavera depend among other things on how the following questions are answered:

  • Who owns the SAP system - the product owner or the ENC company?
  • Will SAP-centric maintenance tasks commence before the asset has been completed?

For more specific aspects to consider see the following articles.

Top 6 Questions to Ask
5. Have you done it before?

 

That should be obvious, shouldn't it? Nevertheless you may be surprised to find out that hardly anybody has done your specific kind of interface requirement. Be specific about the SAP and Primavera version and release, about the technology platform being used, and about your business process. Just because somebody has integrated Primavera with SAP-PM does not mean they have experience in how to 'hook up' make-to-order projects involving Primavera and SAP PS, PP and SD.
