STRUCTURED APPROACH
Oracle Primavera tools are not “plug ‘n’ play” software products, and successful deployments require in-depth product knowledge and competence. The expertise of our specialists has been assessed by Oracle, resulting in Ingeniva achieving Oracle Primavera P6 EPPM and Oracle Cloud Specialisations.
Our certified Oracle Primavera specialists have evolved a proven approach that draws from their experiences of deploying Oracle Primavera products in many organisations across a variety of industries.
Broadly, this comprises six steps which we tailor to suit your needs and minimise risk…
- Discovery. We gather and analyse information about implementation objectives and scope, success criteria, resources, constraints, processes, interfaces and change impact.
- Solution Design. We produce, and agree with you, a design specification covering software installation, product configuration and customisation, data structures, performance reporting, operational procedures and interfaces with other systems.
- Build. We complete software server installation and construct and test customised prototype solutions, often adopting an agile approach and comprising a series of ‘sprints’, that conform to the design specification, using your data.
- Pilot Trial. We conduct a user acceptance trial using a representative subset of your production data and mix of your users, and assess process fit.
- Deployment. We extend the pilot trial to encompass all users, including installing software on client PCs, comprehensive training, data migration and ‘go live’ support.
- Closure. We review the implementation programme with you to confirm that all objectives have been achieved, success criteria have been met and to identify further requirements
Evaluating different PPM tools
Ingeniva can help organizations evaluate different PPM tools based on their specific needs, requirements, and budget. They can provide insights into the strengths and weaknesses of each tool and recommend the best fit for the organization.
Understanding organizational needs
We work with organizations to understand their project portfolio management needs, including the types of projects, programs, and portfolios being managed, the level of reporting and analytics required, and the organizational culture.
Negotiating with vendors
We help organizations negotiate with vendors to get the best deal on the selected PPM tool. We can also help organizations with the procurement process, including the development of RFPs, the evaluation of vendor proposals, and contract negotiation.
Overall, Ingeniva can help your organizations to select the right PPM tool and ensure a successful implementation by providing expert guidance and support throughout the process.
