Pinnacle Insights

ERP and General Ledger systems like SAP play an important role in Earned Value Management Systems.  Pinnacle has implemented Earned Value Management Systems that are integrated with SAP to provide essential information for Earned Value Management System cost and performance analysis.

Many clients have recently engaged Pinnacle to assist in refining their Earned Value Management processes and to update their Earned Value Management System toolset. Specific clients have selected Microsoft Project, Deltek Cobra and Deltek wInsight as their new EVM toolset. The EVMS will be integrated with SAP to gather actual costs.
