What Primavera Cloud is for.
Primavera Cloud is Oracle's cloud-based platform for prioritizing, planning, and delivering projects, programs, and portfolios. Its apps cover scheduling, resources, risk, cost and funds, tasks, workflows and forms, dashboards, and portfolio analysis in one place, and it serves both owners and delivery teams.
It is a separate product from P6 EPPM, and it can synchronize with P6 EPPM and Microsoft Project, which makes phased moves to the cloud practical.
Organizations typically use it to
- Plan and schedule in the cloud without managing scheduling servers.
- Bring resource, risk, and cost information into the same place as the schedule.
- Collaborate with owners, contractors, and field teams on one live plan.
- See pipeline, budgets, and performance across a portfolio.
What it covers.
Resources and roles
An inventory of resources and roles with allocation and planning scenarios, so project selection can reflect role availability, and histograms that show over- and under-use.
Risk
A risk register, Monte Carlo analysis on schedule data, and impact views, with workflows to create and review proposed risks for approval.
Cost, funds, and scope
Project and program budgets, cost tracking, and portfolio budget scenarios, with scope items tracked by quantity or percent complete.
Portfolio analysis and strategy
Portfolio performance views, scorecards, and ranking of projects against corporate strategy to support selection and prioritization.
Workflows, collaboration, and integration
Workflow automation and custom forms, file management, dashboards, reports, and synchronization with P6 EPPM, Primavera Gateway, and Microsoft Project through the Integration app. Mobile apps let field users update progress.

- Contractor and delivery teams. Run master schedules and weekly look-ahead planning together.
- Risk-based scheduling. Quantify schedule risk on live project data.
- Moving to the cloud. Phase projects from P6 EPPM or Microsoft Project into Primavera Cloud.
- Field progress. Capture progress and photos from site on mobile devices.
Questions about Primavera Cloud.
Should we use Primavera Cloud or P6 EPPM?
It depends on your users, existing data, integrations, and deployment preferences. Some organizations run both during a transition. We assess the fit and set out the trade-offs, so the choice is not made on product names alone.
Does Primavera Cloud include risk analysis?
It has a Risk app with a register, Monte Carlo analysis on schedule data, and impact views. Oracle Primavera Risk Analysis is a separate product with its own capabilities, and we can advise on which fits.
Can we move from P6 to Primavera Cloud in stages?
Primavera Cloud can synchronize with P6 EPPM, so phased moves are possible. The plan depends on your data, integrations, and how teams work, and we define it during assessment.
Is it for owners or for contractors?
Both. Oracle describes it for owners managing portfolios and for contractors and delivery teams running projects. Configuration differs for each.
Who handles updates?
Oracle delivers updates to the cloud service. We review their impact on your configuration and plan any changes, so they do not arrive as surprises.
