Introduction to PPM Customizing Toolkit

Before you can import data from your source system into PPM, you need to define criteria for your analyses, e.g., process types, measures, dimension, and calculation rules, and then set up a configuration for your PPM system. This process is referred to as customizing. Customizing a client is divided into two major analysis areas: process and organizational analysis or Data and Cross analytics. Process and organizational analyses enable you to evaluate process-specific analysis criteria of real business processes. Data analytics enables you to evaluate comprehensive table data (big data) and is extended by Cross analytics, which adds a process analysis component.

PPM Customizing Toolkit provides a standardized, wizard-based interface that enables you to easily and conveniently tailor your PPM system to your requirements without the need for programming skills or additional technical know-how. PPM Customizing Toolkit provides you with a user-friendly graphical editor that you can use to create and edit the XML-based configuration files for PPM. For example, you can use Point-n-Click to select measures, map processes, and define the source system data to be imported. PPM Customizing Toolkit provides you with all the necessary functions and applications to simplify customizing of your PPM system.

This makes continuous project work much more systematic and considerably expedites implementation. CTK is supplied with basic configurations of common application scenarios that enable you to leverage stored know-how for your own projects.
