REDWOOD SHORES, CA -- (Marketwired) -- Oct 07, 2015 -- Oracle (NYSE: ORCL) -- Commercial construction and construction management company Swinerton Builders deployed Oracle's Primavera P6 Enterprise Project Portfolio Management Cloud Service to strengthen project controls and collaborate more effectively with internal and external team members and partners -- while reducing IT costs and complexity.

Now, our groups log in to the cloud to access the exact information that's important to them. Something as simple as being able to quickly mobilize information when we get new projects can make all the difference on hitting or missing milestones."

Swinerton has positioned itself for continued growth and project excellence with Primavera P6 Enterprise Project Portfolio Management Cloud Service. The company has used the solution to:

In addition to achieving this greater business agility, using the cloud-based Oracle solution helped Swinerton reduce IT costs and complexity, and the company can now focus less on IT and more on what it does best -- engineering and building new facilities. Specifically, Swinerton can:

"Our teams expect the technology they need to be up and running when and where they need it, so having access to the necessary expertise to handle updates and technology gaps associated with emerging and changing software is a must," said Murphy.
