Primavera P6 Enterprise Project Portfolio Management or P6 Professional Project Management: Which to choose?

Discover the notable differences between the two project management software to decide which platform is right for your business.

P6 EPPM vs. P6 PPM: How are they different?

The Primavera P6 Enterprise Project Portfolio Management (P6 EPPM) offers large-scale enterprise solutions for planning, managing and executing projects. It can handle projects of various complexities and sizes.

Primavera P6 Professional Project Management (P6 PPM), on the other hand, is more suitable for standalone, less complex projects that do not require extensive collaboration and integration.

So, whether a business should invest in either the P6 EPPM or P6 PPM will depend on the size of their teams, project requirements, and other factors. Making the right choice will help improve workforce productivity and maximise ROI.
