Project Business Automation (PBA) is a category of business systems that are designed to integrate and automate the business processes of project-based companies. So if your company is in a project driven industry - for example construction, engineering or professional services - where you work on projects that are paid for by your customers, then having a PBA system is a must. In this interview, Cornelius Fichtner and Matt Mong of www.adeaca.com discuss the basics of PBA: What it is, and what it isn't. (For example, an ERP is not a PBA system). You'll come out with a improved understanding of the issues that project-driven companies face ("Spreadsheets! Spreadsheets everywhere!") and how project business automation can help your projects financials, project operations and project insight.

This is part 2 of our webinar with Oliver Lehmann. The world of project management is undergoing a fundamental change -- a collaborative revolution: Projects that would have been done internally in the past are more and more given to external contractors, who in turn may use subcontractors and sub-subcontractors, building complex project supply networks (PSNs). This cross-corporate way of doing projects is the market for professionals in project business. Based on specific expertise and assets, they have the intention to serve their project customers, make them happy, but also need to be profitable and consider cash-flow. Project business is high-risk business for all parties involved. Our guest today is Oliver F. Lehmann to give us his insights into the specific challenges of doing Project Business and provides an example for methods managing it like Benefit Engineering |
