Introduction
Primavera is an enterprise project portfolio management software. It includes project
management, product management, collaboration and control capabilities, and integrates with
other enterprise software such as Oracle and SAP’s ERP systems. Primavera was launched in
1983 by Primavera Systems Inc., which was acquired by Oracle Corporation in 2008.

Products and versions

As of 2008 Primavera Systems supported long-established products - P3 and Sure-Trak - and the
newer P6 version. The long-standing P3 product in its various forms was used by 25% of the
heavy construction industry, its predominant customer base; the next most popular software
was used by 11%.[ Nearly 40% of general contractors with an annual revenue of $5M to $10M
used Primavera P3. In comparison, the P6 version did not register in a CFMA 2008 survey of the
United States construction industry. The P3 version to P6 version change is based in a move
from DOS-type shortcut keys to mouse-based icons. Thus a software application that was once
very fast to use but grounded in shortcut functions (which some users found difficult to master)
moved to a mouse-based application that is quicker to learn, but once mastered never achieves
the same speed of use. The Primavera Project Planner DOS core launched in 1983 and the P3
Windows interface launched in 1994.

Oracle Primavera services project-intensive industries such as engineering and construction,

aerospace and defense, utilities, oil and gas, chemicals, industrial manufacturing, automotive,
financial services, communications, travel and transportation, healthcare, and government.

Oracle Corporation's Primavera Global Business Unit (PGBU) focuses as of 2016 on providing
web-based enterprise project-portfolio management software that encompasses resource
allocation, cost reduction, supply-chain efficiency, and decision-making ― using real-time data
― for the enterprise market.
