Primavera

Primavera Enterprise (p3e)
P3e is a comprehensive, multi-project planning and control software, built on Oracle and Microsoft SQL Server relation databases for enterprise-wide project management scalability. P3e can stand alone for project and resource management, or it can be used in conjunction with other Primavera products, such as P3 and SureTrak, to consolidate decentralized project plans for ongoing cross-project analysis and insight. No other product provides this complete picture of all your projects form summaries by cost account and global resource breakdown structure, to proactive control of project issues and risks. P3e's straightforward interface ensures that it is easy to learn and use. Rich analysis and reporting capabilities are complemented by and extensive Project website and companion products for making visible the progress made on your projects.

Primavera Teamplay
Primavera TeamPlay Primavera TeamPlay is Primavera's answer to enterprise-wide Project Portfolio Management for IT and Application Development projects. It is an integrated solution with web-enabled, client/server, and desktop software solutions that provides role-specific roles to satisfy each team members needs, responsibilities, and skills. It provides comprehensive information on all the projects in the enterprise, from executive-level summaries to detailed work assignments for each team member.

Primavera Project Planner (p3)
Primavera Project Planner (P3) is best suited for complex or multiple projects which require integrated scheduling, resource allocation and leveling, and cost control at the corporate level. Since projects are disk-resident in P3, it easily supports large projects with thousands of activities. Using P3 also establishes a consistent structure for all projects.

Primavera Suretrak 3.0
Primavera SureTrak 3.0 SureTrak Project Manager is a team-level tool for planning and scheduling detailed tasks at the individual resource level. Applying Enterprise Project Management in this environment, each project team uses SureTrak to manage its own project. Because projects in SureTrak are memory-resident, scheduling results are immediate; however, SureTrak performance is optimal with smaller projects.

Primavera Expedition
Primavera Expedition enables organizations managing multiple engineering and construction programs to successfully deliver projects by drawing upon new cross-project analytical capabilities; uniform, customizable processes; a collaborative environment; and effective contract management for on-time, on- budget projects. Primavera Expedition is the first to provide a global perspective of the multi-language, multi-currency projects and programs your company has underway.

Telelogic Doors
In today's business world, reliable plans make all the difference. And while your project plan needs to be developed and cared for, it only explains HOW you will deliver the work. This is where Requirements Management kicks in. While project management is concerned with how you plan to deliver the product, requirements Management focuses on WHAT that product is and helps control its evolution. Identifying product requirements and specifications as well as ensuring that changes to those are well coordinated with everybody requires discipline and the tools to support it. At PMC, we can provide the building blocks to help make it all happen: plan and manage BOTH the project and the product. Telelogic DOORS provides all the features needed to capture, track and manage user requirements. You can enter your requirements directly into DOORS, using its familiar word processor style interface. Once you've captured your requirements in DOORS, you can track and manage them throughout the project life cycle using a variety of features, such as views, links and traceability analyses.

Pmconnex
PMConnex is built by Project Management Centre (PMC) as an integration application that allows users and organizations to link Primavera Enterprise and Telelogic DOORS, two key information tools used to support project delivery. PMConnex lets Primavera and DOORS exchange information so that project managers and other project team members can quickly assess the impact on the product plan of changes to the project plan and vice-versa. It reduces time spent in meetings, accelerates the change control process and ensures everyone is kept informed of relevant information regarding their deliverables. To achieve this integration, PMConnex uses both the Primavera SDK (Software Development Kit) that comes with Primavera Enterprise and TeamPlay and Telelogic DOORS DXL scripts that load with the application whenever DOORS is launched. PMConnex delivers the following capability: 1) 2-way transfer of project WBS elements so that they can be viewed in DOORS and linked to requirement module objects as well as allow DOORS users to submit additional WBS elements. Also, the names of linked objects in DOORS are listed in the WBS Notebook topics in Primavera; 2) Transfer of OBS elements from Primavera to DOORS; 3) 2-way transfer of project risks and issues allowing team members to view them in DOORS as well as submit them to the Primavera project managers.
