Primavera Cloud Solution Helps Swinerton Builders Improve Collaboration and Strengthen Project Controls

REDWOOD SHORES, CA--(Marketwired - Oct 7, 2015) - Oracle (NYSE: ORCL) -- Commercial construction and construction management company Swinerton Builders deployed Oracle's Primavera P6 Enterprise Project Portfolio Management Cloud Service to strengthen project controls and collaborate more effectively with internal and external team members and partners -- while reducing IT costs and complexity. Swinerton can now also scale its enterprise project portfolio management (EPPM) environment rapidly and cost-effectively and better capture, share, and operationalize best practices to improve project delivery and customer satisfaction.

"In our business, where margins are tight, the ability to execute is paramount. Oracle's Primavera P6 Enterprise Project Portfolio Management Cloud Service enhances the way we share information and the speed at which we create value for our operations and customers," said Michael Murphy, corporate manager of project controls, Swinerton. "We can instantly share information that traditionally would have required creating and e-mailing separate reports and attachments. Now, our groups log in to the cloud to access the exact information that's important to them. Something as simple as being able to quickly mobilize information when we get new projects can make all the difference on hitting or missing milestones." 

Swinerton has positioned itself for continued growth and project excellence with Primavera P6 Enterprise Project Portfolio Management Cloud Service. The company has used the solution to:

• Extend collaboration and project controls across the business: With the solution, Swinerton created a single repository for all project-related data that provides stakeholders with access to real-time data, supports continuous improvement and best-practices adoption across the company, and eliminates cumbersome, paper-based spreadsheets.
• Establish enterprisewide standards: Swinerton now has a complete and accurate picture of project performance and supports consistency across the firm using standards, which include codes and templates.
• Gain new visibility into and control over critical projects: Today, key stakeholders -- including project managers, engineers, contractors, partners, and even project owners -- can instantly check the progress of active projects. The data within the job schedules is updated live, enabling teams to execute in real-time and access interactive activity charts via their mobile devices as well as PCs and laptops. Swinerton executives can also view critical data for all construction projects in progress across all divisions from a single screen -- providing unprecedented insight.
