02/ About product

PPM Express

Our entirely different approach is based on three main principles:

– Easy to deploy(ready instantly, no consultants needed)

– Easy to integrate(Integrate your existing project management tools, including Office 365 and Power Platform)

– Easy to use(new, modern, lightweight user interface, and easy configuration approach)

If you are open-minded to new and better and simpler ways of deploying, DIY configuration, and ease of use – PPM Express is a great choice.

OnePlan

From our point of view – OnePlan is a very advanced, enterprise-scale, “Traditional” Heavy-weight PPM software – competing with Planview, Microsoft Project Online, Microsoft Project Server, Microsoft Project for the web, and Primavera.

While these software products provide an advanced level of settings, flexibility, and configuration, they are incredibly complex. That complexity comes at a high price—a team of consultants must dedicate hundreds of hours to configuring and customizing OnePlan.

04/ Summary

PPM Express is different – it is a genuine cloud software product running on secure Microsoft Azure, and it is instantly ready-to-use. PPM Express can be tuned-up any time along the way – and you don’t have to be a consultant to make that change – any user can make a configuration change, or build a new project template. We are proud of how easy it is and that no consultants are required. We introduced a new way for organizations to realize value faster, see results more quickly, get better ROI and protect existing investments in other tools

OnePlan is a great and an advanced PPM solution. But flexibility requires a very complex UI – lots of grids, filters, dropdowns, right-click menus. It’s fair to say that the OnePlan team has built a powerful but complex solution over the last 5+ years.

You deploy an app that includes code components, then engage business and technical consultants with unique knowledge of the platform to start customizing it, changing data structure, and changing reports. It allows receiving a good fit for “how we run projects now”.

05/ Price

PPM and Product Management

$40/user/month

Portfolio Management

$40,000 – $80,000 USD annualy

06/ COST EFFECTIVENESS

The only cost you face in implementing PPM Express Enterprise is an annual subscription, starting at $2,000/year (price depends on the number of seats; PPM Express provides enterprise plans with unlimited team member seats).

On the contrast, several companies indicated that the total implementation cost for OnePlan can reach over USD100,000. The hefty price tag of One Plan is due to a need to purchase days or weeks of Implementation Consulting and additional integration components.

We strongly believe that paying tens of thousands of dollars for consulting services to configure a PPM is an outdated and unfair practice that benefits vendors, not customers. Also, consider costs and needs for maintenance, support, and changes in the future – it requires developers and consultants.

We believe modern products need to be SIMPLE and EASY TO IMPLEMENT, without consultants.
We believe in empowering our customers with knowledge, and to all of our customers, we offer:

Complimentary End-user Training
Complimentary Administrator Training
Complimentary Implementation Advisory
Complimentary PPM Health checks every 90 days.

We implemented and used PPM Express as our Portfolio Management Platform. The reports and Dashboards provide valuable consolidated information at different levels, and the beauty of this is that it’s just connecting information we already have and getting all the possible value from it.
