Cora Platform Overview
The PPM & SPM Software Platform
A Single Source of Truth
Cora provides you with a single product designed from the ground up to meet your PPM and SPM software needs. Your project and program data are centralized and your costs, scheduling and resources are all connected into an integrated master schedule.
One integrated product accelerates onboarding and simplifies support to provide you with a single source of truth. It is this that gives you the power of predictability, and provides you with complete control and governance over everything you do and make.
To streamline deployment, the platform’s capabilities are organized into seven core modules with four optional extensions. Our team customizes these to your specific needs, guiding you through a staged implementation that delivers value at every step. Whether you’re seeking a PPM solution, an SPM solution, a Value Stream Management solution, Project Controls, or support for ESG requirements.

For Enhanced PPM and SPM Software Functionality
Cora Integrations
The Cora Integrations extension guarantee seamless integration across your technology architecture with a unified API layer. The Cora Connector for SAP® solutions integrates through SAP BTP. Additional extensions leverage the BOOMI iPaaS solution.
Cora Portal
The Cora Portal is an extension to the platform that allows you to create a self-contained collaboration area where you can give limited access to both internal and external teams or groups. This improves the flow of information by replacing contested emails with a simplified structure which automatically generates a reliable audit trail.

It speeds up digital onboarding by eliminating the need for instructor-led training, and allows users to solve the vast majority of issues from within the platform.
