Leveraging Oracle's more than 20 years of capital program management expertise as well as industry and customer best practices, Primavera Unifier for data centers includes more than 65 preconfigured, guided business processes and more than 250 reports and dashboards that can be used as-is or modified according to your requirements.

Data center capital planning

Align your data center project and program prioritization to your organization's strategic goals.

Easily access relevant, up-to-date past and current project information, including actuals, and use consistent selection criteria and processes to improve project prioritization and budget accuracy.

Project evaluation and prioritization visualization

When comparing locations and or layouts of data centers, heat maps show a clear visual representation of your priorities and let you filter by preselected evaluation criteria, such as cost per square foot, to support data-driven decisions.

Primavera scheduling

Primavera Unifier brings the capabilities of Primavera Scheduling for improved schedule milestone tracking. Gain visibility into cash flow over time at both the project and portfolio levels.

You’ll easily see how actuals and forecasts are trending against baseline, so you can take quick action as soon as any variances arise.

Primavera integrated cost and schedule management

With Primavera Unifier’s integrated cost and schedule management, the cash flow curve is fed by the cost sheet and schedule milestones, giving you an accurate view of cash flow over time and across your projects.

Funding management

Automate funding management and change control across budget line items at the project and cross-project levels.

Commitment management

Manage commits at the enterprise and project levels, including project-level commits against master agreements.

Leverage integrations with DocuSign and Adobe Acrobat Sign for digital signatures.

Contract management

Manage all project and enterprise contracts and changes using connected contract, cost, and change management processes. Track the schedule of values for each commitment against cost processes, align budgets to commits to actuals—and never misallocate costs again.

Ensure appropriate payment and timing by automating retention management.

Bring your vendors in to collaborate in the system, saving time and improving accuracy.

Connected processes and data

Speed processes, reduce errors, and unify data using one connected cross-process flow—from bid, contract creation, change management, to cost—all in one solution.

Form-based workflow engine

You determine the participants, and Primavera Unifier records and tracks all actions for easy access, initial and subsequent review, and approval to help keep all of your critical projects on track.

For example, once an RFI creation form is completed, the related workflow is automatically generated.

Increase visibility to decrease risk

Give your team access to a central, cross-project risk register, so they can identify, capture, and address more risks at the project and cross-project levels, reducing your organization’s overall risk.

Easily identify if a risk on one data center also impacts others.

Track risks from identification and quantification to action and resolution.

Predictive alerts within Primavera Unifier give you the information you need to take proactive action, before your projects are impacted.

Punch list management

The form-based workflow engine automatically develops the punch list from the Owner Walk Through form.

After creation, the system assigns individual punch list items to the responsible individuals, who are instantaneously notified.

Due dates, inspection readiness, and close out are all communicated and tracked in Primavera Unifier.

Timely closeout of your data center projects supports on-time operation and needed increased capacity.

Preventive maintenance

Automating preventive maintenance eliminates manual tracking and administration. More importantly, you can reduce outages, emergency repairs, and corrective maintenance, saving money and improving operational efficiency.

Set up the system to initiate, track, route, and close out preventive work orders based on time, performance, or warranty dates to reduce costly failures, emergency repairs, and downtime in critical data centers.

Corrective maintenance

Assign, track, route, and close out corrective maintenance work orders to improve internal customer satisfaction, reduce administration, and save money.

Corrective maintenance flows are automated from service request through work completion and sign off.

Manual tracking and assignment is eliminated and customer satisfaction is improved.

Maximize warranty value

Warranty coverage can equate to millions of dollars. Primavera Unifier helps you get the most of your warranties throughout their life.

Prevent lost warranty information and missed coverage. The system helps you take advantage of full warranty benefits, including system-initiated inspection requests prior to warranty expiration.

Advance your integrations

As the name implies, Primavera Unifier is a powerful hub to connect processes, integrate systems, and unify data.

Primavera Unifier has mature RESTful APIs and uses Oracle’s own middleware, including the industry-leading Oracle Integration Cloud. With support for your existing middleware solutions and hundreds of proven, best practice integrations, you can improve performance while decreasing integration time, cost, and risk on your essential data center projects.

Oracle Integration Cloud embedded within Primavera Unifier

Integration capabilities within Primavera Unifier enable real-time integration calls within workflow steps.

For example, when reviewing a change proposal, you can pull in related contract details from your ERP system to inform your review.

Integrated Primavera cost and schedule management

Get a clear picture of cash flow against plan over time and understand the impact of proposed changes to project cost and schedule.

Integrated Primavera cost and schedule management ties cost codes in Primavera Unifier to the cost breakdown structure in Primavera scheduling solutions, Primavera P6 Enterprise Project Portfolio Management, and Oracle Primavera Cloud to increase budget and forecast accuracy.

Integrated capital planning and project execution

By integrating the cash flow between capital planning and project execution teams, planners can access up-to-date project actuals and forecasts to inform their budgeting.

Project teams can access up-to-date budget information, keeping them informed of funding decisions and helping to keep projects on track by reducing budget-related project delays.

Integrated ERP and project information management

Bi-directional integration support between Primavera Unifier and your ERP system helps ensure consistent data with no lag and allows your project teams to manage their project forecasts, potential changes, and approvals outside of the organization’s financial system.

Integrated ERP and project information management systems keep your system of record in synch with project cost and forecast data, supports employee retention management, and allows both corporate finance teams and project teams to work in their own system while accessing critical data from the other system.

Unifier mobile application

Manage and approve business process records from wherever you are, online or offline. Receive notifications, create records, take advantage of geolocation capabilities to organize and track inspections, and attach photos from jobsites to keep your data center projects on track.

Project and cross-project reporting

Developing custom reports and dashboards is time-consuming and costly. Leverage prebuilt reports, dashboards, and layouts and modify and add to them to meet your specific project or organizational needs.

Based on more than 20 years of successful implementations and industry best practices, Primavera Unifier Accelerator includes more than 250 reports and dashboards.
