An Oracle Primavera Cloud consultant helps you implement, configure, migrate to and get real value from Oracle Primavera Cloud (OPC), Oracle's cloud platform for project and portfolio management. Planned is an independent UK consultancy that works across both Primavera P6 and OPC, so our advice is not tied to selling one platform. We work at senior level, remotely across the UK or on site where it helps.
Whether you are moving off P6, standing OPC up for the first time, or trying to make an existing rollout actually work for your planners, we get you to a cloud environment your teams trust and use.
What does an Oracle Primavera Cloud consultant do?
Implementation and configuration. Standing up OPC properly: workspaces, calendars, codes, roles and permissions, and the reporting structure your organisation actually needs, rather than an out-of-the-box default nobody trusts.
P6-to-OPC migration. Planning the move and transferring schedules, resources, codes and calendars from Primavera P6, then validating that nothing was lost along the way.
Scheduling and project controls in OPC. Building and running programmes in the cloud, with the same project controls discipline (baseline, progress, earned value) you would expect in P6.
Administration and integration. Ongoing P6 and OPC administration, security, and connecting OPC to your other systems.
Training. Bringing your team up to speed through Oracle Primavera Cloud training, including for existing P6 users making the switch.
Should you move from Primavera P6 to Oracle Primavera Cloud?
It depends, and it is worth being honest about that rather than assuming the newest platform is automatically right for you. OPC brings modern, browser-based scheduling and easier collaboration, but P6 remains deeply capable and widely used, and plenty of organisations run both. We help you weigh your estate, your reporting needs and your team's skills before committing to a move. Our guide on Oracle Primavera Cloud vs Primavera P6 lays out the trade-offs.
When do you need an OPC consultant?
The usual triggers: you are implementing OPC for the first time and want it set up right, you are migrating from P6 and cannot afford to lose schedule integrity, you have a rollout that stalled or is not being used, or you simply do not have in-house cloud Primavera expertise and need senior help for a defined piece of work.
Why an independent specialist?
Because we work across both P6 and OPC, we are not incentivised to push you onto a platform that does not fit. You get senior, hands-on capability exactly when you need it, no permanent headcount to carry, and a team that has seen how these implementations succeed and fail elsewhere. The aim is a working environment and a capable in-house team, not a dependency on us.
How do you work with clients?
We start by understanding your estate, your goals and your constraints, then plan the implementation or migration around them. We do the technical work collaboratively with your team, hand over clear documentation, and train your people so they can run OPC confidently once we step back. Delivery is remote-first across the UK, with on-site time for the stages that benefit from it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Oracle Primavera Cloud replacing P6?
Not exactly. OPC is Oracle's modern cloud platform, and many organisations are moving to it, but P6 is still widely used and the two often run side by side. Whether you should move depends on your estate and reporting needs, which is the first thing we help you work out.
What is the difference between Primavera P6 and Oracle Primavera Cloud?
Primavera P6 is Oracle's established, database-driven planning tool, run on-premise or hosted, and strongest for detailed critical path scheduling. Oracle Primavera Cloud (OPC) is Oracle's browser-based platform that adds module-based workflows, built-in risk analysis and lean scheduling, and is built for collaboration across a portfolio. Many organisations run both while they transition.
How much does Oracle Primavera Cloud cost?
OPC is licensed by Oracle on a subscription, priced per user and per module, so the figure depends on how many users and which modules you need. We do not resell Oracle licences and take no commission on them; we help you scope the right subscription and the migration around it.
Why move from Primavera P6 to Oracle Primavera Cloud?
Organisations move for browser and mobile access, easier collaboration across teams and the supply chain, built-in Monte Carlo risk analysis, and less overhead maintaining an on-premise P6 estate. Whether the move is worth it depends on your estate, which is what a migration readiness assessment establishes first.
Can you migrate our P6 data to OPC?
Yes. Migration is core to what we do: planning the move, transferring schedules, resources, codes and calendars, and validating that nothing is lost in the process.
Do you support both P6 and OPC?
Yes. We work across both, so our advice is platform-neutral. We help you use whichever fits the job, and manage the two together where you run a mixed estate.
Do you offer Oracle Primavera Cloud training?
Yes. We deliver OPC and P6 training at all levels, on site or remotely, including sessions aimed at existing P6 users moving to the cloud.
