Oracle Primavera P6 vs PACT ERP

Two Qatar software options, compared side by side for Qatar trades.

Which should you choose?

Oracle Primavera P6 and PACT ERP are both Tier A. Compare the typical pricing shown for each below. The tier is not a quality ranking: weigh the pros, cons, pricing and Qatar-specific notes below against your trade and region.

Oracle Primavera P6

Tier A · Listed

Oracle's critical-path scheduling and project portfolio software

Primavera P6 is Oracle's project scheduling line: P6 Enterprise Project Portfolio Management (EPPM), which Oracle offers on-premises or in the cloud, and the desktop P6 Professional, both documented up to version 26. Oracle published a customer story in April 2024 titled 'Ashghal helps transform Qatar infrastructure with Oracle Primavera', about the Public Works Authority. Gulf Times reported in March 2020 that Ashghal's Doha South project won an Oracle Construction and Engineering Excellence Award.

Pros

+ Critical-path scheduling with unlimited resources and target plans (per Oracle)
+ Portfolio and multi-project planning in P6 EPPM
+ P6 EPPM runs on-premises or in Oracle's cloud
+ Ashghal is a named Oracle Primavera customer in Qatar

Cons

− No public prices: quote from Oracle or a partner
− Built for professional planners; a learning curve for occasional users
− More than a small firm's job schedule needs
− Scheduling only: no accounting or invoicing

Qatar note

If a client contract or tender specifies the programme format or scheduling software, confirm the requirement before you buy; no public Ashghal rule naming P6 was found in this check. P6 handles scheduling only, so invoicing stays in your accounting system (Qatar has not introduced VAT; The New Arab reported on 25 September 2026 that it is still under consideration).

Typical Qatar pricing: Quote-based; no public price list found.

PACT ERP

Tier A · Listed

Modular ERP with contracting, procurement and payroll

PACT Software Services, headquartered in Hyderabad, India, says it has provided ERP since 1998 and has more than 12,000 customers worldwide. It sells a modular ERP covering finance, procurement, inventory, projects, CRM and HR and payroll, with a construction and contracting solution for scheduling, procurement and cost control. PACT lists Qatar among its offices and gives a Doha phone number.

Pros

+ Project scheduling, procurement and cost control for contractors
+ HR and payroll in the same suite
+ Doha contact number plus offices in the UAE and Saudi Arabia

Cons

− No public prices: quote only
− Construction page does not detail BOQ, estimation, retention or progress billing
− No Qatar street address published
− ERP setup effort

Qatar note

PACT lists a Doha contact (+974 number) but no Qatar street address, and its Qatar site link points to its global website. Ask for a demo of BOQ, subcontractor, retention and progress-billing features, which its construction page does not detail, and confirm who supports you in Qatar.

Typical Qatar pricing: Quote-based; no public prices.
