"Contract Manager plays a vital role in Primavera's integrated programme management solution because it gives the entire project team the ability to collaborate with current information and clear accountability," said Richard Sappe, AEC Industry Market Manager at Primavera.
"When these change management and collaboration capabilities are combined with P6's forecast analytics, time and resource planning, and Pertmaster's risk management, Primavera's offering becomes a powerful, complete solution to deliver projects and programmes successfully".
To maximise the opportunity for program success, managers need an integrated system that combines all of these fundamentals into a single solution that they can use consistently throughout their organisations to achieve complete control over changes and deliver projects on schedule and on-budget.
The critical components of Primavera's solution include collaboration, cost control, and resource planning based on accurate schedules and historical trends.
Contract Manager is an important part of Primavera's integrated programme management solution.
The latest version of Contract Manager makes it easier for organisations to oversee all the moving pieces in a programme, so that everyone knows who is responsible for what and turnaround times can be reduced.
With Contract Manager (version 12.0), AEC firms and facility owners operators can address change management challenges such as: - Claims avoidance: Tracking and logging RFIs, change requests and change orders is only part of effectively managing change.
Contract Manager enables organisations to proactively prevent claims by providing a collaborative platform with flexible workflows that ensure full accountability across all stakeholders in the change management process.
Users can now capture and record email correspondence and attached files from email servers, such as Microsoft Outlook, without having to switch applications and re-enter data.
- Management of contractors and the supply chain: The change process itself can further delay projects or increase costs and resource requirements.
Contract Manager helps project managers objectively evaluate contractor performance to keep things on track.
Additionally, the automated progress payment capabilities within Contract Manager help maintain good relationships with subcontractors and vendors by ensuring timely payments are made based on performance.
- Procurement and progress payment: Coordinating and synching procurement with field requirements can be particularly challenging across multiple stakeholders.
Contract Manager facilitates the consistent and transparent management of equipment, materials and services throughout a project or programme.
Contract Manager improves and accelerates the review and approval process by providing multiple routing options, configurable to work with an organisation's business needs.
