In Episode 12 of the Uffective Boost Podcast, we explore how integrating SAP with a modern PPM solution can simplify complexity, improve data quality, and make project financials work more smoothly.
Our guest, Dr. Tobias Hartwich, manages a €600 million IT portfolio at E.ON. Together with Uffective CEO Dr. Mark van der Pas, he shares how portfolio management became a real bridge between project delivery and finance – with measurable benefits for SAP.
From WBS Elements to Forecasting – Integration Done Right
Instead of manually applying for WBS elements (PSP-Elemente) via Excel and email, E.ON users can now request them directly from the PPM tool. One workflow, less friction.
Internal IT cost allocation also becomes easier: Who pays how much? With Uffective, that’s now just a few clicks away.
Better SAP Data Through Structure
One unexpected outcome? SAP data quality improved. With better project setup, costs are correctly allocated from the beginning – preventing errors and saving weeks of correction work.
And long-term planning? E.ON now uses the tool for mid-term forecasting of capital needs – including allocations by legal entity and automated controller handovers.
Don’t Overload Your Users
Both Tobias and Mark agree: Don’t integrate SAP too early. Lay the foundation first. Once users understand the basics, adding SAP creates value instead of confusion.
Tune in to hear how smart integration turns PPM from a reporting tool into a strategic asset.
