Information has become available, whether you're working at a branch office in rural China, or in the heart of London. But information's value and context has become obscured by the complexity and increasing cost of managing it. And while its volume continues to grow, organizations are challenged more than ever before, not only by the delivery of information on an enterprise scale, but also by what it means as an evolving strategic asset.

The PPI idea is about the way how project and protfolio data is managed and analyzed: from lots of projects where information is a trusted, strategic asset that is shared across an organization in a standard reporting context.

There are some very critical questions: how data is analyzed and represented in a changing business environment? And how the technology tools required to optimize their value are relevant?

This is the principal challenge that the PPI addresses.
