PlainPPM overview

What is PlainPPM?

PlainPPM is the Swiss project portfolio management solution built natively on Microsoft 365. PlainPPM uses the building blocks your organization already runs: Power Apps for the application logic, Power Automate for workflows, Power BI for reports and dashboards, Microsoft Copilot for AI-assisted analysis, Microsoft Planner Premium for task management, and Microsoft Teams for collaboration.

Users

Executives — for an honest portfolio overview on a single slide, not pieced together from three different spreadsheets.

PMOs and portfolio managers — for prioritization, status reporting and stage-gate processes.

Resource managers — for capacity planning across all projects and business units.

Project managers — for structured status updates without double data entry.

Controlling and finance — for budget tracking, forecasts and actuals reconciliation.

Data residency

PlainPPM is developed and operated in Switzerland. All customer data stays inside the customer's Microsoft 365 tenant region — either Switzerland or the EU. That delivers automatic compliance with the revised Swiss Data Protection Act (nDSG/FADP) and the EU GDPR. Hospitals, banks and public authorities whose compliance frameworks rule out external SaaS platforms can run PlainPPM without a separate data processing agreement; processing remains under the customer's already-approved Microsoft 365 contract.

Integration

Power BI dashboards, Microsoft Teams, SharePoint document management, Planner Premium for tasks, Microsoft Entra ID for single sign-on, Microsoft Excel for ad-hoc analysis and PowerPoint for status reporting. Custom approval and reporting workflows are built directly in Power Automate.

Pricing

Annual usage fee per user. Volume and multi-year discounts available.

Support and onboarding

Swiss-based support in German, French and English. Free 60-minute demo.
