In today’s rapidly evolving project management landscape, businesses face increasing challenges in handling projects of unprecedented size and complexity. To conquer these obstacles, organizations have access to a wide array of tools and solutions. Among the prominent options is Oracle Primavera 6, renowned for its robust project scheduling and resource management capabilities.

However, despite its reputation, many businesses still encounter difficulties during the adoption and utilization of this powerful tool. The technical complexity involved often poses a significant barrier, impeding the seamless integration of Primavera 6 into existing workflows. Companies struggle to maximize its potential due to limited knowledge and understanding, leading to productivity bottlenecks. Moreover, the process of extracting and presenting critical project data in a user-friendly format for decision-making can be laborious and intricate. These challenges create hurdles for businesses relying on Primavera 6 as their primary project management solution.

Fortunately, Innovative Management Solutions (IMS) emerges as a trusted partner capable of addressing these challenges head-on. As a full-service project management solution provider, IMS played a pivotal role in the design, development, and evolution of what is now branded as Oracle Primavera P6 and had influences on other project management related systems.

“We are a leading project management consultancy, specializing in comprehensive project planning and controls. Our expertise spans the entire project management system, encompassing process enhancements, technology implementation, and empowering individuals. By integrating these elements, we provide executives with the necessary tools and insights for making data-driven decisions,” explains Jeff Collins, CEO of IMS.

With their extensive expertise, IMS empowers businesses to overcome hurdles in adopting and harnessing the power of Oracle and other PPM software.

The IMS client onboarding process commences with a meticulous assessment or discovery phase, allowing them to identify the underlying causes and sources of project and portfolio management challenges. This comprehensive understanding of the client’s current situation and ultimate objectives enables IMS to craft a tailored roadmap for success.

For instance, an aerospace company recently partnered with IMS during their transition from Microsoft Project to Oracle Primavera P6, aiming to successfully deliver a large-scale project while lacking the expertise in the project portfolio software. Recognizing the need for specialized assistance, the company turned to IMS for guidance. The IMS team skillfully led the conversion of their Microsoft project schedule, bolstered cost and schedule control processes, and introduced a user-friendly dashboarding platform. This platform empowers executives with convenient access to crucial project data. Furthermore, IMS provided a dedicated team of scheduling experts to collaborate with the client, ensuring the ambitious project goals were met. Through IMS’ comprehensive approach encompassing process guidance, training, technical migration support, and an advanced dashboard tool, the aerospace company achieved improved project portfolio management capabilities. As a result, executives gained valuable insights into project performance, enabling informed decision-making and enhanced project outcomes.
