Redwood Shores, Calif. - December 3, 2014
News Summary

To meet the demands of today's complex business environment and enhance decision-making, organizations must overcome functional silos and communication gaps. This is especially true for project supply chains, where project managers often do not have access to modern supply chain management tools. To break down the barriers between departments and improve collaboration between project managers and supply chain planning, Oracle has introduced the Oracle solution for Project-Driven Supply Chain. The new solution integrates Oracle Value Chain Planning and Oracle's Primavera project portfolio management solutions to help organizations better align material planning, decision-making, and execution throughout the project lifecycle.
