Many large-scale projects (Construction, Energy, and Aerospace) could not be effectively scheduled on any other software platform. Perhaps the most significant advantage of Primavera™ is the sheer magnitude of the processing capability that can compute complex construction CPM schedules that contains thousands of activities and relationships. Furthermore, Primavera™ allows multiple project-level construction schedules to be open simultaneously for program-level analysis. Different levels of authority can be assigned to different users for security and organizational purposes. Primavera™ offers many advantages that other applications cannot match such as a centralized database that multiple users can access at any given time.
