Pinnacle Insights

Oracle Primavera P6 V8 has proven itself as an excellent enterprise tool. By continuing to add capabilities for all Enterprise Stakeholders and by integrating with Oracle ERP and other Oracle Enterprise tools, Oracle Business Intelligence (BI) and Oracle Business Process Management (BPM) for example; Primavera P6 is supporting process excellence across large international organizations involved in Product Lifecycle Management.

With P6 Release 8 Oracle Primavera continues its push toward the Enterprise environment and the web. This P6 V8 upgrade is a very significant enhancement.

By default, when Primavera refers in their documentation to P6 EPPM they are referring to the web. They will specifically say "P6 Optional Client" or "P6 Professional" to refer to the client.

Pinnacle has mastered the implementation of Enterprise Project Management (EPM) and Earned Value Management Systems (EVMS). The Primavera P6 tools suite is one of our most favored for Project, Program, Portfolio and Enterprise and systems. 

Microsoft Office Project Server is a high end EPM tool that enables organizations to manage and direct projects and resources across the enterprise. It supports project teams in collaborating and in managing their project documentation and deliverables.

Pinnacle has created a number of EVM and EPM Process Asset Libraries (PAL) for its clients. Process Asset Libraries are new to the Earned Value and Enterprise Project Management world.

ERP and General Ledger systems like Oracle Financials play an important role in EVM Systems.  Pinnacle has implemented EVM Systems that are integrated with Oracle Financials to provide essential information for EVMS cost and performance analysis.

The Scheduling Engine in an Earned Value Management System (EVMS) holds and is used to maintain the baseline and current schedule for the project.  The project schedule is often used as the basis for estimating and forecasting the resources required for the project.
