Oracle Primavera 16.2 is now available on the Oracle Software Delivery Cloud.

Oracle Primavera Customers Can Use the P6-Loader in the Cloud to Streamline their Data Management Processes

Calgary, Alberta – September 29, 2016 – Emerald Associates, a leading provider of Oracle Primavera solutions and Platinum level member of the Oracle PartnerNetwork (OPN), today announced that its cloud-enabled Primavera P6 productivity tool, the P6-Loader, is now available in the Oracle Cloud Marketplace offering added value to Primavera customers. The P6-Loader automates manual data entry by integrating the power of Primavera P6 with the ease-of-use of Microsoft Excel and enables users to save time, speed up deployment and simplify administration of project and global data.

The Oracle Cloud Marketplace is a one-stop shop for Oracle customers seeking trusted business applications and service providers offering unique business solutions, including ones that extend Oracle Cloud Applications. Oracle Cloud is the industry’s broadest and most complete public cloud, delivering enterprise-grade services at every level of the cloud technology stack including software as a service (SaaS), platform as a service (PaaS), infrastructure as a service (IaaS), and data as a service (DaaS).

The P6-Loader is a unique business solution, and one of the first Primavera applications to be published in the Oracle Cloud Marketplace. Emerald Associates is known for their extensive line of Primavera add-ons, and they continue to bring new, cost-saving productivity tools to the market with the development of cloud-enabled versions that extend Primavera in the Cloud.

The P6-Loader automates manual data entry through the secure import and export of most data elements between Primavera P6 and Excel. It allows for the controlled extract and upload of data at the global and project levels and eases the challenge of manipulating project data by leveraging the spreadsheet functionality of Excel. P6-Loader users operating Primavera on-premise have been reaping the benefits of the tool for years, but it was a natural progression to cloud-enable the latest release to bring those same benefits to Primavera users moving to the cloud or needing a simple migration path to get into the cloud. Emerald Associates has achieved the Oracle Cloud Standard designation, demonstrating Emerald’s dedication to innovation and the delivery of best-of-breed Primavera P6 Professional Project Management solutions.

“The Oracle Cloud Marketplace gives the Oracle community an easy way to find the latest innovations that will bring them competitive advantage. With over 20 years of innovation under our belt, the P6-Loader is the first of many Emerald tools that will be available in the Oracle Cloud Marketplace for Oracle Primavera. Our add-ons work on-premise and now in the Cloud whenever possible. It is an exciting time for innovators, and the Cloud is part of that excitement,” said Nicole Jardin, CEO, Emerald Associates.

The Oracle Cloud Marketplace offers an intuitive user interface to browse and search for available applications and services, as well as user ratings and reviews to help customers determine the best business solutions for their organization. Emerald Associates is proud to be one of the first publishers to offer a Primavera application. For Oracle Primavera P6 users, the P6-Loader can breathe new life into their data management processes.
