Creating future thru agile solutions
November, 2009

2. What MPM is not…
Manager Pro Media is not just another ‘budgeting tool’.
It is not a software program for the accounting area.
Neither is it a tool conceived for a single department.
It does not substitute or collide with the existing financial ERP.
MPM is not a single-purpose software.

7. SUPPLY MANAGEMENT
MPM contains a database of suppliers operating with all the
necessary details, usually more than the ones stored in the financial
ERP.
Suppliers database

In this example, fields are read only because
it is quite common that supplier core data is
maintained in the financial ERP. In that case

in MPM.

production activity and its key benefits are:

Reducing headcount.
Taking awareness of cost deviations before it is too late to
take the right decisions.
Automating much of the administrative production
processes.
Provide a greater level of transparency in co-productions, giving
consistent information to all the investors.

status allows taking the right decision in the right time. Every
aggregated piece of information can be broken down at the highest
level of detail.
