This program is well suited for online database management for construction-related fields and their contract management. It has many features which allow for reporting, issuance of changes, applications for payment and HB, and related construction-related documentation for both client and user. It also allows one to print and review in PDF any required documentation needed as per contracts.

I did not select Oracle Primavera Portfolio Management. It was an inherent application. Having used other applications, compared to those, Oracle Primavera Portfolio Management is a far superior tool for portfolio management. However, in the span of the last 10 years, there are newer, perhaps better products available. Oracle Primavera Portfolio Management does still manage to get the job done, but its time in the sun is fading.

• P6 has had measurable ROI in the fact that projects can be completed on schedule or sooner using it.
• P6 it presents data date stamps, which are used to share with clients during the project for the progress of the schedule.
• P6 may have a high level of entry to use for the smaller project, which can be a hindrance to use.
