Construction Viz: Integrating P6

Oracle Primavera P6 is well known for being the industry leader for project scheduling. Anyone that has been in Project Controls, most likely has used P6 to manage their projects. The challenge is how do you make P6 data available in your Project Management Information System (PMIS) in a way that everyone on the project can use and understand without needing to be an experienced scheduler?

Lydon Solutions has been building custom web services and integrating P6 scheduling information in SharePoint for many years. When we built Construction Viz, we evaluated how, and where, users need to access P6 data. We then set out to build responsive apps and components that integrate with P6 throughout the Construction Viz platform.

• P6 App. We built a P6 App that returns data in a configurable grid with powerful query and search capabilities. Users can easily slice and dice schedule information from their project and even export to Excel, if needed.

• P6 Component. Since Construction Viz is a modular system, we built a P6 specific schedule component that can return schedule data based on queries within a form. We understand there are many construction forms that rely on P6 data, therefore this component can be enabled in any of our existing Form Apps, from Field Daily Inspection Report to Submittals, as well as in any custom designed forms for your project. The P6 component even allows users to add data to your schedules, such as percent complete, expected completion dates, and quantities complete, that can be stored in Construction Viz for further reporting.

• Scheduler. The Construction Viz Scheduler App is focused on ease of use. It can be customized to behave any way you need, and integrates across all our apps, including P6. Now you can view your P6 schedules in a simplified scheduling application, that can be shared with the entire project team.

Our P6 solutions are just one of many Apps and components that we provide for Construction Viz that can turn your SharePoint and/or Office 365 into a robust construction project management solution.
