Our EPPM offering incorporates many best practices including Portfolio Management CII (Construction Industry Institute) process templates, robust SAC Analytic CDS and HANA view EPPM content, delegation of authority workflow models, Business Process Management visual workflow, and BTP solutions such as our Construction Field Application. Our Field App can be used on an iPad or Android to capture installation details, work progress notes, and upload hundreds of pictures with attributes. 

 

All of this content can be used to produce a Daily Diary Output.  We work with customers that are CII members.  Our customers have implemented CII stage gate best practices on paper.  They are looking to complement these paper processes with SAP EPPM CII solutions. This is where Platinum DB can play a role.  Platinum DB offers a CII Solution. Platinum DB has customers in the Banking, Chemical, Transportation, Engineering, and Construction that utilize our solution.  

  

We Believe Passionately in What We Do and the Investment We Make in the Success of Our Customers and Partners: 

  

• PDB has made a significant investment in the Chicago-based Cloud Advanced Innovation Center (AIC) so that we can model and prototype the solutions we build and configure before implementation at the customer. 

​

• The AIC houses multiple application landscapes that are used to demonstrate complete end-to-end processes across the entire EPPM ecosystem. 

​

• The unique Platinum DB Live Blueprinting offering exploits the full power of the AIC to enable customers to visualize and model requirements at a fraction of the cost of traditional approaches.

​

• We make the AIC available to SAP for demonstrations and proof of concepts to showcase the “art of the possible” using the latest SAP solutions. 

  

Another PDB operating principle is “build it once use it many times”. What does this mean for customers? Innovations, process improvements, and technological discoveries made during the course of client engagements and our own research, typically get rolled into the AIC landscapes and artifacts library. Savings that derive from not reinventing the wheel are passed on to clients in the form of lower implementation costs and faster time-to-value. The working environment that this philosophy engenders means that PDB is able to attract the best, brightest, and most motivated EPPM talent in the industry.
