Options for moving Primavera to the Cloud
Like most of the Project Management world, you may be a little confused about moving your Primavera P6 environment to the “Cloud”. What are my options for moving to the cloud? SaaS vs. a Hosted Solution? Is Primavera Cloud different than P6?
CBA is here to alleviate confusion and help find the right path for you. Our experience in this space makes us uniquely qualified to help you determine if a cloud environment is right for your organization.
3 OPTIONS FOR CONVERTING TO CLOUD
HOSTED SOLUTION
Primavera P6 EPPM users can host their current environment in a secure, U.S. based facility managed by a CBA hosting partner that specializes in the setup and operation specific to Oracle Primavera P6. The CBA Hosting Provider will keep your environment running smoothly, giving your team 24/7 access from any internet capable location. This system will provide the same accessibility that a SaaS solution provides, but allows for more control over your P6 environment. CBA can lead the implementation of this transition by helping you choose the right provider, migrating your data, and smoothly transitioning existing integrations.
HOSTED SOLUTION:
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure
Microsoft Azure
Amazon Web Services
LOADSPRING
MLM Project Services
SOFTWARE AS A SERVICE
You can transition to a monthly subscription model for Primavera P6 SaaS (Software as a Service) and CBA can help to determine if it is a fit for your organization.
Before transitioning to P6 SaaS Cloud Service, analyzing your current P6 license situation is crucial. P6 Cloud Service is a very different model that requires a thorough cost/benefit analysis of the short and long-term impact this decision will have on your overall project management goals and costs. CBA has the knowledge and experience to help determine the optimal path for your organization.

ORACLE PRIMAVERA CLOUD
The third option is to transition to the new Oracle Primavera Cloud (formerly Prime Projects) which not only includes a P6 compatible scheduling engine, but also includes additional functionality that goes beyond what P6 currently provides today, such as, Lean Scheduling, Monte Carlo Risk Analysis and many other features in a single mobile-friendly interface.
