Oracle Primavera Analytics provides an in-depth and comprehensive method for analyzing and evaluating facilities and real estate management, project performance, project history, resource assignments and utilization, business processes, cash flows, and cost sheets.
Built upon the Oracle Business Intelligence (OBI) suite, Primavera Analytics delivers a catalog of analyses that provide an interactive way of viewing, analyzing, and evaluating P6 EPPM and Primavera Unifier data. In addition, Primavera Analytics provides a repository definition that contains the data mappings between the physical data and the presentation layer of OBI.
The dashboards provide detailed insight into your P6 EPPM and Primavera Unifier data through analytical charts, tables, maps, and graphics. Dashboards allow you to navigate to other analyses to provide precise root-cause analysis. OBI allows you to configure individual analyses with P6 EPPM and Primavera Unifier Action Links, enabling you to navigate directly to your P6 and Unifier site for true "Insight to Action" capabilities. You can save an analysis created with OBI in the OBI Presentation Catalog and integrate the analysis into any OBI dashboard. You can enhance results through options such as charting, results layout, calculations, and drill-down features.
Use Primavera Analytics to:
- Perform root-cause analysis and employ management-by-exception.
- Gather critical insights into current and historical performance of all projects, programs, and portfolios.
- Drill down from aggregated metrics to examine the root-cause of a problem.
- Make better decisions to eliminate project failure.
- Quickly visualize critical project performance in early stages.
- Identify and predict cost sheet and cash flow trends early in the project life cycle.
- Gain visibility into resource performance through s-curve analysis.
- Show staffing needs by portfolio with early warning indicators for upcoming under-staffed project work.
- Roll-up business processes to understand trends and trends by various dimensions.
- Use geospatial visualization to view project, activity, and resource data metrics by geographic location with full drill-down capabilities.
Primavera Analytics provides a repository definition to use with the OBI suite. The repository definition contains:
- A physical representation of Primavera Data Warehouse.
- A business layer to perform customized calculations.
- A presentation layer that groups all the calculated business layer fields into logical subject areas.
The repository definition delivers an extensive list of key performance indicators (KPIs) from Primavera Unifier, and P6 EPPM. Depending on the data source, this list includes (but is not limited to) Earned Value, Costs, Units, Percent Completes, Counts, Business Processes, Lean, Resource Assignment, Schedule Health, Cash Flow, and Cost Sheets. It also enables data to be sliced by various dimensions, including time, EPS, portfolios, projects, activities, resources, project hierarchies, cost breakdown structures, and business processes.
Primavera Analytics delivers a sample dataset, consisting of Primavera Data Warehouse data, where the dashboards and analyses in the catalog were built. You can use this sample data to view the power of dashboard and analyses delivered in the catalog, and see how you can integrate the catalog with your data.
