TCS Oracle Primavera Services
Enterprise Solutions

When executing enterprise-wide strategic initiatives, the complexities and challenges
faced by businesses include: globalization, cost control, and pressure to accelerate
time-to-market. Oracle Primavera, the leading Enterprise Project Portfolio
Management (EPPM) solution responds to these challenges with web, cloud and
mobile-enabled platforms that centralize information, streamline and automate
redundant processes, and consolidate disparate systems. As a result, executives and
stakeholders gain real-time visibility into project activity and can ensure that
investments are aligned with strategic imperatives while meeting timeframe and
budget constraints.
Tata Consultancy Services’ (TCS) comprehensive portfolio of Primavera services enables
you to manage complex projects and realize accelerated benefits. Our end-to-end
Primavera offering encompasses advisory services, integration, implementation,
upgrade and consolidation, and managed services. TCS’ hosted model enables you to
deploy these services on a monthly subscription basis, minimizing your initial
investment.
Overview
Executives today need to balance economies of scale,
leveraging global buying power, corporate
governance, business alignment, and cost
containment when rolling out any global IT initiative.
The unique complexities associated with managing
local business rules, currencies, and languages of
multiple geographies further compound these
challenges. In this context, the primary obstacle
to an effective and efficient Primavera implementation
is that currently, most businesses use Primavera
disparately across business units, presenting
challenges in data and license maintenance. Since data
cannot be integrated or reported on for governance,
organizations lack visibility into projects, early
warnings and insightful decision making.
As a global organization, you need an IT partner that
knows global business. TCS’ Oracle Primavera services
not only align closely with your overall IT strategy but
offer efficiency, control, risk mitigation and visibility
through consolidation. By integrating the consolidated
instance with finance, maintenance, and HR systems
(Oracle E-Business Suite), you establish a single source
of data and reduce data entry overheads. With a single
Enterprise Project Portfolio Management (EPPM)
system that incorporates analysis, dashboards and
reporting, you receive early warnings and take
corrective action. Additionally, our service offering
enables you to upgrade your Primavera products
to the latest version while ensuring compatibility
with existing integrations.
