Across asset-intensive industries, the pressure to deliver on time and within budget has never been greater. Yet, many organizations still manage asset planning, cost estimation, and maintenance in separate systems such as SAP PPM for portfolios, PS for projects, and PM for maintenance.

The result? Fragmented data, inconsistent estimates, and slow decision-making.
Rizing Cobalt is the missing link that brings it all together. Built on SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP), Cobalt unifies SAP PPM, PS, and PM cost and resource estimation in one intelligent solution. This gives organizations a complete view of their project lifecycle and empowers smarter, data-driven investment decisions.

Why It Matters

In traditional project environments, design evolution, estimation, and resource planning happen in isolation. Cobalt changes this by connecting every step of the asset investment lifecycle from concept to execution within a single, SAP-native platform.

With Rizing Cobalt, organizations can:

  • Unify cost and resource estimation across SAP PPM, PS, and PM modules
  • Eliminate silos and manual processes for planning and budgeting
  • Increase estimation accuracy through design versioning and real-time data alignment
  • Accelerate project delivery with integrated scheduling and resource visibility
  • Support long-term sustainability through a clean-core approach on SAP S/4HANA

By simplifying complexity, Cobalt transforms asset investment planning into a seamless, strategic process.
