Hello Guys and Gals in this wonderful planet

I got a mail from Primavera.

Primavera is proud to announce P6 is here to stay.

What is this all about????

After we got skilled in P5 then comes P6.

This is horrible money making activities by Primavera.

I think it is now high time to migrate to SPIDER.

Believe me, what this whole thread P3 e/c, P5 will become obsolete.

I think Primavera gurmbles. No point in patronizing this software.

Vlad, please make aggressive promotion of Spider.

Cheers,

Joseph

    Hi Joseph

    What make you be so worried?

    Lastest version of software always make us more convenient.
    Sofware change time to time. This is obvious rule.

    P6 launching aim to meet rocket-speed development of software market. Microsoft Vista, SQL 2005 is popular now.

    I’m sure there will be lots of fun in this new release.

    Thanks
    Khuong

    PS: if you have problem on Primavera, feel free to contact me.

    When it comes to the Windows client, P6 has exacly the same interface as P5, and just a few (quite useful) additional features on top. There is no need to make waves.

    If you create schedules the way you select software...

    i just read the presentation of p6 on primavera web site, and i have a couple of questions

    - did the windows client has exactly the same functionalities as the web one.

    - as the web client is written in Java, why it’s only limited to IE and windows !! is this a technical decision or a will from primavera to support only windows as a client platform.

    - don’t you think, that now it make sens to propose p6 as a service, not all companies have the skills and budget to implement the server side ( database, application server...)

    thanks

    Hi Mimoune

    _ I think Lan-based will certainly have some different function than web-based

    _ Not IE only, Web-based also support Mozilla Firefox used on Linux OS. Java have been used in many platform and OS, I think development with Java is a good strategy.

    _ Yes I also agree with you. But it seems that Primavera corporation does not pay attention to this field.

    Thanks & regard

    The web-based interface(s) are very different from the Windows version. Furthermore, they are targeted at specific users: resource managers, project managers, portfolio managers, individual contributors.

    The beauty is that all (windows and web) link to the same DB but that’s where the comparison stops.

    H.T.H.

    P.S. Primavera introduced a web service for project planning and sub-contracting in the late 90’s, but I think the market wasn’t ready for it.
