Fast growth and a significant increase in business
activities were creating project management challenges for CPqD, a developer of
innovative information and communication technologies for large Brazilian
organizations. To bring greater efficiency and centralized project management
capabilities to its operations, CPqD chose Oracle’s Primavera P6 Enterprise
Project Portfolio Management.
“Oracle Primavera is an essential tool for our day-to-day
business, and I notice the effort Oracle makes to constantly innovate and to
add more functionality in an increasingly shorter period of time,” says Márcio
Alexandre da Silva, IT department project coordinator, CPqD.
He explains that before CPqD implemented the Oracle solution, the company did
not have a corporate view of projects. “Our project monitoring was
decentralized and restricted to each coordinator,” the project coordinator
says. “With the Oracle solution, we achieved actual shared management, more
control, and budgets that stay within projections.”
Among the benefits that CPqD now
enjoys are
The ability to more effectively identify how employees
are allocated, enabling managers to increase or reduce resources based on
project scope, as well as secure the resources required for unexpected
projects and demands
A 75 percent reduction in the time it takes to collect
project data and indicators—automated and centralized collection means
project coordinators no longer have to manually compile information that
was spread among various systems
