You no longer have to choose between buying and building.
Building your own PPM solution means a large program. Months of specs pass before anything goes live. Buying a standard tool gets you started fast, until every gap turns into a customization project. Both paths break at the same point: change is expensive.
AI has changed that. Software can now adapt as fast as your business does, as long as it stays within your IT rules.
cplace gives you the best of both worlds: proven PPM software with deep domain expertise, tailored to you with AI.
This is Frontier PPM.
Frontier PPM is a term coined by cplace. It combines the depth of enterprise PPM with an AI Builder that works under governance.

Generation is becoming a commodity. Governance is not.

Your teams go from documents or a description to a running application in days, not months. Everything it creates stays under your control.

In addition to the ability to create and utilize applications for a wide range of business requirements using a central, database-based tool, the decision to choose cplace was also driven by affinity. We collaborate with a highly innovative team.
Frequently asked questions
cplace is project portfolio management (PPM) software built as an AI platform. Large enterprises use it to run complex project portfolios. With the cplace AI Builder, they also create PPM solutions that fit their processes in days, within the rules their IT sets.
Traditional PPM tools come with fixed data models and predefined processes, so every change needs an implementation project. cplace adapts to the way your organization works. Teams describe what they need, and the AI Builder turns it into a working solution in days. Classic, agile and hybrid projects run on one data foundation, and every change stays within the guardrails your IT has set.
Frontier PPM is a term coined by cplace for project and portfolio management that combines the depth of enterprise PPM software with a governed AI Builder. Traditional PPM suites offer depth but no builder. AI app builders generate software quickly but lack portfolio expertise and enterprise governance. cplace brings both together on one platform.
The cplace AI Builder is an AI app builder for enterprise PPM. It creates complete cplace applications, including data model, layouts, dashboards, workflows and wizards. As input, it takes Excel files, requirements documents, PDF or PowerPoint, or a description in plain language. It can build a new solution from scratch or extend an existing one, from a single field to changes across several workspaces. Your domain experts make every key design decision, and a cplace expert reviews the result before go-live.
Discover cplace AI BuilderEverything the AI Builder creates runs natively in cplace and follows the same permissions, audit trails and lifecycle controls as work done by people. Every AI interaction is logged and auditable. Generated artifacts are versioned and can be rolled back, and cost and model usage can be reported. You can bring your own key, and your data is never used to train models. This makes cplace a governed alternative to unmanaged vibe coding tools.
