Using clients, you can configure and manage your PPM projects. A client provides you with all the configuration files and applications required to extract data from your source system and configure it for further processing.
A client is made up of the following elements.
PPM repository
The prepared client-specific data is saved in a dedicated PPM repository, where it is available to PPM for analysis under the same client name. PPM Customizing Toolkit provides all of the required configuration files and a basic configuration of measures, dimensions and all the utilities for managing your new client.
