To organize projects up to 100,000 activities, P3 provides unlimited resources, unlimited number of target plans for proactive what-if-analysis, and multitude of ways to organize, filter and sort activities, projects, and resources. P3 allows past-period performance storage for historical reporting and analysis of resource assignments, cost and earned value. By comparing actual performance to original plans, processes and accuracy of future estimates can be improved.

It provides with a multiuser, multiproject system with scheduling and resource control capabilities supporting multi-tiered project hierarchies, resource scheduling with a focus on roles and skills. It uses standard Windows interfaces, client/server architecture, Web-enabled technology, and standalone (InterBase) or network-based (Oracle and Microsoft SQL Server, including MSDE) databases for organizational-wide project management scalability. Primavera offers the following software components: Project Management, Methodology Management, Portfolio Analysis, Timesheets, my Primavera, Software Development Kit, Claim Digger, and Project Link.

Contract Manager v. 11.0 tracks budgets, review commitment documents and record requisitions and invoices as they are received. The Cost Worksheet automatically collects and summarizes detailed cost elements from contracts, requisitions, changes and purchase orders and dynamically displays this in one easy-to-read form.
