Challenges
• Standardize the environment for managing complex engineering projects including public services infrastructures and private initiatives
• Gain greater visibility into the planning and development of each civil construction project to ensure completion on time and within budget
• Support project designers’ decision-making processes with a robust scheduling and project development tool
A word from Construções e Comércio Camargo Corrêa S/A
“Oracle’s Primavera P6 Enterprise Project Portfolio Management is a robust tool that supports almost 100,000 daily activities within the more than 40 projects we manage simultaneously—apart from enabling us to work with 4-D simulations.”
Solutions
• Deployed Oracle’s Primavera solutions to efficiently manage construction projects more efficiently, automating and integrating processes which were previously managed by disparate tools
• Streamlined decision-making through the use of deadline simulations that provided a tighter and more accurate scheduling process for each project
• Centralized schedules, giving visibility into all activities for each project—from pouring the foundation, through to the end of construction—facilitating situation analysis and project coordination
• Achieved market- edge by using 4-D construction simulations, with the ability to simulate the point where a certain project is or should be by integrating Primavera with virtual models from other programs to improve the control of activities
• Provided online access to the project management system, allowing team members to get information when and where they need it
• Reduced software licensing and training costs by standardizing on a single system space and by relying on Oracle Partner Verano for training 74 users of the new tool
