The Problem Statement

CA PPM used to have SAP BOBJ Integration earlier. CA is now building Jasper Plugins to meet the customer’s requirement which wasn’t the case with SAP BOBJ Jasper has poor reporting capabilities as compared to Crystal Reports. Jasper Ad-Hoc capabilities are quite inferior to that of WEBI Jasper’s basic dashboard features Xcelsius, being an advanced tool for dashboarding.

CA PPM 14 version is an HTML5 Compliant version, so CA needed a new version of SAP Products like Lumira etc.which didn't happen. CA PPM customers are Top 3000 companies of the world are customers of CA PPM and they are still on SAP BOBJ package since Jasper plugin doesn't provide strong BI features. Apart from all these , mobile capabilities are temporarily unavailable for Dashboards (Adv Vis.)
