What's New - P6 v17 SaaS
In early 2017, Oracle CEGBU (Primavera) released P6-EPPM in their SaaS Cloud. This is part of their new release strategy for their SaaS Cloud of monthly releases while on-premise releases will be switched to yearly only.
What' New - HTML Changes
CEGBU continues their trend to remove Java applets and move everything to HTML pages so that all browsers can work with the tool. Currently we are finding that Firefox is giving the most reliable user experience across P6, Unifier and PCM.
