primavera inspire for sap version 8.0 released

there’s definitely a trend that is growing steam amongst companies that use enterprise project management systems like primavera p6.  it’s integrating cost and schedule data into a single system.  we’re finally realizing that there a just too many cost management spreadsheets that get produced every time a project manager asks for a progress report.

oracle primavera’s inspire solution allows cost and schedule data to move back and forth between p6 and sap.   oracle has just released primavera inspire version 8 with some improvements:

  • better performance and memory management:  a known bug in inspire caused the tool to essentially hang when syncing large projects to sap.  that bug has been fixed with release 8.
  • improved materials management integration with sap
  • compatibility with all versions of primavera p6 eppm upto release 8.2

oracle published a press release for primavera inspire for sap release 8 as well on their site here.
