Background

Oracle Primavera is the market leading application for Project Planning and

Scheduling in the many industries.

The vast majority of participants in these organisations would like to use

Primavera to manage projects both for themselves and on behalf of theirclients.

Key to successful implementation is early, visible, meaningful output to

allow quick gains to be achieved.

Why Milestone?

Milestone has been implementing Primavera solutions for over 16 years

During this time we have been successful in all business sizes, from very small to

the largest.

We have used various Implementation Methodologies to maximise the benefit and

minimise the risk .

Typically, these follow a standard process and format . . . .

What you need for a full implementation

Have support from all impacted business units at all levels

Fully understand criteria for success

Articulate these at early stage

Know what existing internal processes are to be incorporated

Have available resources to implement system

Make available IT resources

Culturally accept business disruption


9/23

. . . . . For some this approach is appropriate, BUT

For many implementations this will not succeed.

This may be due to size, resources, budgets, maturity, ormany other factors.

The reason starts right at the beginning with

Differences in Understanding:


10/23

10

Differences in Understanding

Customer

Knows how his business operates fully (hopefully!)

Doesnt have the same deep understanding of the solution as the supplier

Has an expectation of an end result

Supplier

Knows his solution fully (again hopefully!)

Doesnt have same deep understanding of the business as the customer

Has an expectation of an end result


11/23

11

. . . . . . so what?

During implementation understanding grows on both sides to bring:

Scope creep

Changes to expectations, in functions and output

Leading to revised deliverables

More resources needed prior to go live

Altered cultural impact

New IT requirements

Longer deployment schedule

. . . . . delayed benefits

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . added costs

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . reduced enthusiasm


12/23

12

How can we do this better?

What we really want is a solution that is:

Easy to implement

Quick to implement

Minimises business disruptionDelivers productivity early

Delivers decision support output early

Acts as a knowledge-base in itself

Is capable of expansion


13/23

13

What can be done?

Recognising this, we decided to address these needs

We had the experience, and had been witness to some of the

effects!

The solution we developed was presented to Oracle

It was accepted as an Oracle Accelerate product

Milestone was awarded Oracle Accelerate Specialization

The first Oracle Primavera Partner in the world to achieve this


14/23

14

Future Integration: Other Applications

To achieve and benefit from the next level of efficiency gains, review the

data flow between project controls software (Primavera) and other businesscritical applications, such as: Estimating and Cost Management (e.g. Hard Dollar)

Other ERP/Financial Systems (e.g. SAP, Maximo)

Third party or in-house time recording (e.g. eTimeMachine)

Other reporting systems (e.g. Business Objects, Cognos, etc)


20/23
