Case Study
 

Patni helps consolidate application silos to provide a holistic "Single-Source-of-Truth" system for IT Governance

The Challenge The Solution The Benefits

Patni partnering with HP helps a leading Depository to successfully migrate to a new IT Governance product and implements a consolidated solution to manage projects within HP PPM.

The Client

The client is a leading Depositary Company in the US

The Challenge

The Customer was using a Primavera based system for managing internal Projects data. The Time and Date Tracking were resident in a different system. There was no proper interface between these two systems, making it difficult to manage the applications without efficient reporting capabilities.

The challenges faced by the client included the following:

Multiple application silos where project and time data reside

Data Inconsistency
Problems in roll-up and consolidation
Maintenance overheads.
 

The Solution

Patni partnered with the customer to lay out a Roadmap to implement
the new ITG Strategy that was evolved after an initial ITG Maturity assessment. Patni solution included the following:

Build Interface

  Project related data was residing in Primavera based Project Management system whereas Timesheet data was available in a home-grown application, which is a different time tracking tool.

Using custom scripts and programs, data was populated into PPM tables from custom staging tables.
