Having worked as a Program and Project Manager, I have realized the importance of getting an insight into the project and portfolio performance so to do a health checkup of the project status. Although there are tools in the market for project and portfolio management, but I could not really find a solution that would give me a real time look into the projects.
Oracle Primavera P6 Analytics seems to be the solution that would help managers to get real time information about project portfolios and hence make better project investment decisions. It is a new business intelligence solution that enables organizations to identify issues and uncover trends to reveal valuable insights into project and program performance. It can also provide management-by-exception capabilities through interactive dashboard reports, enabling organizations to benefit from enterprise-level reporting across the portfolio and insight into project trends and history. Another attractive part of the solution is that it will enable users to conduct root cause analysis and take corrective actions by drilling directly from the Oracle Primavera P6 Analytics dashboard into Oracle’s Primavera P6 Enterprise Project Portfolio Management solution.
Primavera P6 Analytics users can quickly identify projects that do not align to strategic objectives, are over-budget or under-performing, and then make the necessary course corrections. If needed, companies can add to the pre-built views by quickly and easily customizing additional views and dashboards. A common Web-based portal helps ensure that users can quickly and easily access and navigate their dashboards and reports. The solution is based on Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition Plus (Oracle BI EE), which helps ensure that Primavera P6 Analytics leverages best in class BI technology that reduces implementation time for future integrations. Oracle BI EE’s ability to support Oracle and non-Oracle applications and data sources enables Primavera P6 Analytics to match project data with information from different systems in the enterprise, such as financial and customer data, enabling organizations to create a single source of truth for their projects and programs. By providing transparency into project portfolio performance and a single source of truth, Primavera P6 Analytics adds value to existing Oracle Primavera P6 Project Portfolio Management deployments by enabling managers to identify and to identify greater efficiencies and potential ROI on their projects.
This product is a true blessing for the managers and PMs to handle projects and portfolios effectively!!!
