Learn How Emerald Helped Client Migrate to the Oracle Cloud

Primavera Migration and Custom Primavera P6 Training

Client Overview

Client is a Canadian construction company. They have provided innovative construction solutions to complex infrastructure projects across Canada for over 100 years through various contracting modes including general contracting/bid-build, design-build, design-bid-build and public-private partnerships.

Challenges

  • Needed to consolidate and migrate several databases, some residing on individual machines and on different versions of Primavera P6, to two databases located on the Oracle Cloud

  • The P6 Client version interface was not simple to use for the skill level of the end-users

  • They required a more formalized process between the Planning and Scheduling group managing the Primavera instances and the business as well as the IT group

Results

  • Migrate all existing project schedules, filters and layouts from both the enterprise and local Primavera installs to the Cloud solution

  • Implemented a sustainable Primavera QA/Training environment for the testing of enhancements and upgrades and to train users. Also implemented an archive strategy for closed projects.

  • Updated and redesigned roles, profiles, EPS and OBS to business requirements using established best practices.

  • Developed and delivered specific training documentation and class room sessions for administrators, power users, end users and IT.

IT Portfolio Management in P6

IT Portfolio Streamlined with PeopleSoft and P6

8 weeks to develop integrated system

Written by Nicole Jardin

Client Overview

The client is a large cancer research hospital in California. They use Primavera tools for portfolio and project management across the program management, IT and capital projects teams. The IT team was finding that the system was not giving them the project status and resourcing information they were hoping for. Nor could they ascertain what the resourcing, in-house and outsourced, capacity and efforts were for the short and long-term planning.

Challenges

  • Developing a new project management structure with new projects, upgrade projects and ongoing support work

  • Transparency for resourcing across multiple departments - reworking of roles, resource codes, employee ID from PeopleSoft

  • Overhauling the EPS, OBS, CAS, and WBS templates after completing workshops

Results

  • Led design sessions for changes to global structures, stage gate templates, and consistent deliverables

  • Remapping and migration was done with P6-Loader after each working session so management could see the changes right away

  • Training was delivered by Emerald using custom developed UPK content and small working sessions for the different business leaders and then team project managers

  • Management Dashboard for timesheet submissions, project stage gate and milestones from templates were developed
