The ultimate goal of holding such a seminar is to familiarize the audiences with capabilities and advantages of different systems in order to cover the project management requirements in project-Based companies. Thus, in this presentation, different products from Oracle, SAP AG, and Microsoft are selected deliberately.

On the aspect of technical and managerial abilities or even the market share the comparison between
“SAP All-in-One” & “Microsoft Dynamics SL” (for small and medium enterprises) or “SAP-ERP ECC6” &
“Oracle’s PeopleSoft ERP Solutions” (for Large enterprises) is acceptable regarding the fact that all
these products are ERP solutions. On the other hand it is naturally accepted that non-identical systems
cannot be compared. For example it is basically wrong to compare “SAP-ERP ECC6” form SAP AG with
“Primavera Unifier” from Oracle and “Project Professional” from Microsoft since the infrastructures
and application areas are not completely the same.
However, we are not trying to make a company or a product superior or inferior.
The ultimate goal of holding such a seminar is to familiarize the audiences with capabilities and
advantages of different systems in order to cover the project management requirements in project-
Based companies. Thus, in this presentation, different products from these three companies (Oracle,
SAP AG, and Microsoft) are selected deliberately.
It is worth to be mentioned that regarding the aforementioned explanations, some well-known
systems like “Dynamics AX” or “Dynamics SL” from Microsoft and “E-Business Suite ERP Solutions” or
“Oracle Project Portfolio Management Cloud” from Oracle are purposefully ignored unless Microsoft
or Oracle company has not provided another solution/product related to the declared need.
All other selected products for this presentation are of the most well-known ones in the market.
There are also some products from the partner companies which are starred*.
