Primavera Systems Transforms Project Management with P3e/cTM for Construction
Primavera introduces a new product designed specifically for engineering and construction companies, further strengthening its position as the leading provider of project management solutions.
(EMAILWIRE.COM, October 21, 2002 ) P3e/c for Construction is a comprehensive, easy-to-use software product for organizations involved in the management of construction projects. The new solution was introduced on October 21, 2002, by Primavera Systems to better help engineering and construction companies plan, analyze and schedule projects to achieve on-time and within budget completion.
"P3e/c for Construction has really been a driver as it relates to our bottom line and how it has helped our performance with customers," said Bruce Hennig, manager of project controls, Parsons. "P3e/c is a technology that enables a company to implement a scheduling system with a growth path into the future. The benefits of P3e/c have been enormous for Parsons."
"Primavera is dedicated to the construction industry and we are committed to improving the way engineering and construction projects are managed," said Joel M. Koppelman, CEO of Primavera Systems. "By listening to our customers for nearly 20 years and learning their business, we are delivering a new and easy-to-use solution that satisfies the specific requirements for planning and scheduling these projects. P3e/c simplifies schedule integration, enhances collaboration, and has the versatility to support teams who manage single projects or complex programs."
Some of the new features of P3e/c for Construction are:
Advanced Analysis -- Recognize possible delays by comparing current plans with the initial plan, the owner's signed-off plan, and the previous period plan using the multiple baseline capability of P3e/c. Risks, issues and alerts feature provides the ability to identify and manage potential project risks by flagging vulnerable activities. Users are automatically notified if an activity or work package exceeds duration or cost. Analyze project information by duration, variance, costs, and dates.
Immediate Field Status and Project Updates --Construction management firms, engineer, procure, and construct (EPC) firms, contractors, and owners can plan, update, manage and control multiple projects through a web browser or mobile reporting tool such as a Palm® Pilot or Pocket PC. The ability to collaborate with project managers, ask questions, and review documentation online far exceeds the web-functionality of other scheduling tools.
Steps within Activities -- Using this feature, team members are able to streamline schedules and enhance project details to capture key information without creating unnecessary activities.
Templates -- Get a project up and running fast by using past successful projects as an electronic model for future projects. EPCs, contractors, and owners can quickly and easily size templates for particular projects using the software's exclusive Project Architect feature. In addition, team members can learn from past successes by reviewing attached specifications, links to catalog cuts, and other key documents.
Resource and Cost Management Capabilities -- Track multiple rates for equipment and labor, as well as material costs using 21-point resource distribution curves, unlimited customizable 'this-period costs,' and multiple resource rates.
Control Built Around an Organization's Structures -- Unlimited hierarchical codes for projects, activities and resources enable users to organize projects and activities to accurately reflect business needs. Graphical and rich text notebooks on projects and activities provide organizations with the ability to capture and organize detailed information for reporting purposes such as quickly tagging activities affected by weather delays.
Integration with Primavera Expedition® -- View, create and update activities from Expedition documents, including submittals, changes and daily reports.
"P3e/c makes it a lot easier for us to integrate with other programs including Primavera Expedition for project controls," said Hennig. "The integration of these products is where a company can gain functionality and efficiency in overall project management."
The P3e/c product package includes:
P3e/c software
Industry-standard reports and graphics
Sample construction and engineering demonstration projects
Easy project planning and implementation with project templates
Simple integration with P3®, SureTrak®, Microsoft© Project and Expedition
P3® to P3e/c upgrade guidelines
Packaged service offerings
Installation and migration support
Streamlined implementation methodology
"P3e/c is the appropriate upgrade path for construction customers who have technologically outgrown P3 or want a better platform for integrating their project management information with other information systems," said Koppelman. "For users under current maintenance, there is no cost to upgrade from P3 to P3e/c and we provide a comprehensive package to assist with migration. Companies can easily start their next project using P3e/c."
Product Availability:
The P3 to P3e/c upgrade is free for users under current maintenance. P3e/c is available directly from Primavera and through its network of Primavera Authorized Representatives. For more information and to order, please contact Primavera at 1.800.423.0245 or 1.610.667.8600.
