Oracle Primavera Cloud Service for Owners—Datasheet

Improve the predictability of project outcomes with Oracle Primavera Cloud Service. Integrate strategic project and portfolio planning, scheduling, and resource and risk management to support your entire project portfolio - from ideation through operations and maintenance.

The Challenges of Improving Predictable Outcomes

Engineering and construction projects are plagued by systemic coordination and communication hurdles. Owners are challenged with aligning and incentivizing multiple organizations towards specific milestones, goals, and objectives. In addition, owners know their data interests go far beyond project selection and management. Owners’ developed assets must be cared for and maintained long after their project delivery partners have progressed to the next job.

A lack of standard and centralized project and portfolio management impairs optimization, yields inconsistent planning and scheduling processes, limits collaboration, impedes progress tracking, and weakens risk management. Moreover, the inability to synchronize schedule data and processes restricts efforts to unlocking predictive intelligence - when and where it is needed - to improve decision-making.

These factors all increase the likelihood of unpredictable outcomes, unwanted risk exposures, and operational deficiencies that uniquely impact how owners plan, build, and operate their assets.
