Chapter 1. Welcome to Oracle Primavera Contract Management v14

Oracle Primavera Contract Management is one of Primavera's suite of tools for managing projects. It has been around the industry for over 20 years and has seen many different names; however, the core of the application has stayed the same from the beginning. The design is to manage all aspects of the communication of a project as well as the monetary aspects. As the years have gone by in the construction industry, not much has changed as far as building concepts; we still build things from the ground up. It is tools like PCM that allow us to perform our jobs more efficiently.

This chapter will look into the beginnings of contracts and why we need tools like PCM.
