DATA INTEGRATION BETWEEN PROJECT SYSTEMS
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to integrate a financial planning system and an operational planning system for a project by:
- loading a first work breakdown structure (WBS) from the financial planning system;
loading a second WBS from the operational planning system;
recording at least one link between a first node in the first WBS and a second node in the second WBS; and
propagating data between the first node and the second node via the link.

Abstract
A project systems integrator integrates a financial planning system and an operational planning system for a project. The integrator loads a work breakdown structure (“WBS”) from the financial planning system and another WBS from the operational planning system. The integrator then records links between corresponding nodes of the financial WBS and operational WBS. When data is entered, updated, or otherwise changed, the data is propagated between the nodes in accordance with the links.
