it wasn’t that long ago that oracle released the oracle primavera cloud, a cloud-based offering<\/a> for oracle’s popular project management software packages. if you’ve been following the news, you might know that oracle was a bit late to the cloud-party. nonetheless, if you work in an enterprise with large primavera installations, you’ll be happy they finally showed up – fashionably late albeit.<\/p>\n

what is the primavera cloud service?<\/h2>\n

nowadays, software is\u00a0moving to the cloud and being offered as service. for example, instead of purchasing individual copies microsoft office and installing them on a number of desktops, now you can purchase microsoft office 365, which\u00a0offers the software as subscription service;\u00a0you pay a much more reasonable price monthly and can access office on desktops and mobile devices. the benefits\u00a0for the end user are many: lower cost, automatic updates, accessibility over the web and much more.<\/p>\n

in recent years, we’ve seen many software products launched using the saas (software-as-a-service)<\/strong> model, from\u00a0google apps for business, adobe’s creative suite, to canva<\/a> – a graphic design tool that’s completely web-based.<\/p>\n

oracle has been behind but they are quickly playing catch-up and they have made a huge play for a piece of the cloud saas market with their oracle database cloud<\/a> and other enterprise saas offerings too many to mention here.<\/p>\n

it’s no surprise and a bit of a relief to see primavera software move to the cloud. many applications within the primavera suite of tools are already 100% web-based like contract management, primavera p6 eppm<\/a> and unifier<\/a>. so making the jump to a cloud-based version makes sense.<\/p>\n

what primavera applications have cloud versions?<\/h2>\n

there are quite a few applications under the primavera umbrella – not just primavera p6 professional. the majority of primavera applications are now available as a cloud service. that means companies can pay a monthly subscription to access this software over the internet from virtually any location.<\/p>\n

here is a list of the applications within the primavera suite that now have cloud versions:<\/p>\n

that’s right, only p6 professional, risk management and primavera portfolio management do not currently have cloud offerings. i have no information on whether any such offerings are planned.<\/p>\n

you’ll notice the (*) on primavera p6 professional. let me explain. primavera p6 professional can be purchased alone, but it also comes bundled with p6 eppm<\/a>. for users that have the bundled version and are p6 professional alongside p6 eppm<\/a> to connect to the same database, p6 professional does connect to the cloud. it’s just not offered on it’s own for users who only want to use primavera p6 professional.<\/p>\n

are there alternatives to the primavera cloud?<\/h3>\n

absolutely! and i just want to say that\u00a0i’m only trying to lay it all out for you. 世界杯2022亚洲比赛时间 has no skin in this game, but to be helpful and informative.<\/p>\n

there have been a number of companies that provide hosted 2022年足球世界杯入选名单 primavera applications for quite some time, even before oracle’s cloud showed up. i can’t tell you which one to choose, you’ll have to do your own research.<\/p>\n

what are the benefits of moving to the primavera cloud or 3rd party hosting?<\/h2>\n

i use a few subscription-based services and i have to say, i really like this model. as entrepreneur, the costs stay down, while i get the latest and greatest version of the software. let’s go through a few key benefits that might drive you to consider primavera cloud or an alternative.<\/p>\n

1) lower costs<\/h3>\n

without any details on pricing from oracle, i’m going by what i’ve heard in a few webcasts and a brief conversation with a sales rep.<\/p>\n

in any subscription model, your costs spread over a longer period of time, usually on a monthly plan, rather than paying a huge invoice upfront. and you only pay for what you use.<\/p>\n

in the case of cloud hosted solutions, to realize the cost savings of an on-premise installation, you need to factor in all of those sunk costs of running and maintaining the software on-site:<\/p>\n
