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.
