Here is where I was surprised by the entrance of a fairly new application, which has quality features to satisfy the need for project teams to be able to view the XER project schedule and deliver higher agility in task completion. So, companies could greatly benefit from a lightweight application to display project information which can subsequently help them reduce total businesses costs, but at the same time be able to provide the project team and important stakeholders with a tool to view crucial project information and the current statuses of project activities. If we consider a single project we will see that not all project participants actually make changes on a schedule and that a lot of the responsibilities for this are divided between project executives, managers, project leads and coordinators who plan activates, allocate resources and manage costs for the team members who actually work on their assignments. Since companies are trying to tighten their budgets on technology solutions with the aim to cut their operational costs, the price of a product and its associated services for them is one of the most important buying criteria. Having said this, there are a lot of users that will need to view the project schedules, but the company is reluctant in providing a license package that will cover all team members included. There is also another setback which is the optimization of licenses to users within the companies, since this is somewhat expensive project management system that even large enterprises consider costly.

After working as a consultant for so many years helping companies implement some of the largest Oracle® Primavera P6 Enterprise Project Management (EPM) systems, I gained the experience in addressing many issues that slow down or stall implementation mainly because of frequent migration issues.
