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.

The CBA Hosting Provider will keep your environment running smoothly, giving your team 24/7 access from any internet capable location.

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.
