Oracle P6 pricing: 4 common blunders to avoid for construction firms
Discover how to be financially savvy when opting for the right Oracle P6 pricing package to meet the needs of your construction projects.
Why it matters to analyze Oracle P6 pricing
With more construction firms switching to project management software, it becomes necessary for them to evaluate which platform works best for their project requirements. Their choice of the right platform should take into account the planning, implementation, and management of different stages of their project.
It is also equally important to consider a cost-effective approach when deciding on the right platform to invest in. For construction project teams, the right version of a project management tool can help them decrease their spending by a considerable margin for their project management requirements, and also ensure that they only pay for features that they need, that are suitable for their projects.
Although this may seem like a clear-cut process, project managers or construction firms are not immune to making costly blunders when investing in their choice of project management platform. This is no different for construction firms that invest in popular platforms such as Oracle P6.
If you are interested in investing in a version of Oracle P6 software but want to ensure that you are making a financially savvy investment in your choice of project management software, then read more to learn how to navigate Oracle P6 pricing matters effectively.
Mistakes you should avoid when considering Oracle P6 pricing

Overlooking license types
One of the most costly mistakes that users make when opting for their choice of Oracle P6 software is not understanding the different license types available. There are typically options for perpetual licenses, subscription-based licenses, and concurrent user licenses. Ensure that you understand your organization’s needs and the most cost-effective license type for your project requirements.
Ignoring user requirements
Failure to accurately assess the number of users who will require access to the software can result in significant financial implications down the line. Purchasing insufficient licenses that undermine the number of users means that some users cannot obtain access despite needing them. Thus, you should conduct a thorough analysis of your organization's user needs and plan accordingly.

Forgetting maintenance and support costs
Support and maintenance fees are frequently disregarded when users purchase Oracle P6 licensing. Such fees may be incurred differently based on the amount of support needed. It’s important to budget wisely to avoid surprise costs in the future. It's important that you consider maintenance and support costs, which should already be factored into your budget, to avoid any unforeseen expenses.

Neglecting to negotiate
Many organizations simply accept the initial pricing offered by Oracle without attempting to negotiate better terms. Remember that pricing for enterprise software like Oracle Primavera P6 is often negotiable, especially for larger deals or long-term contracts. Don't be afraid to negotiate with your sales representative to secure the best possible price and maximize your ROI in Oracle P6.
