XER SCHEDULE TOOLKIT

PRODUCE GANTT CHARTS IN MICROSOFT EXCEL

XER Schedule toolkit provides automation tools to planners & schedulers that generally make life easier, freeing up time that can be better spent ‘planning’ and secondly, by providing the rest of the project community with intelligent access to the project schedule in a format they can understand and derive most value from.

A beneficial feature is the ability to produce a Gantt chart in a standard Microsoft Excel workbook using XER Schedule Toolkit. 

XER Schedule Toolkit can act as a bridge between Oracle’s Primavera P6 and Microsoft’s Excel, whereby all reports and charts can be imported by the toolkit and then exported to Excel in a consistent, formatted workbook.

ORACLE PRIMAVERA P6 DELAY ANALYSIS TECHNIQUES

WEBINAR - IMPROVE CHANGE MANAGEMENT

Improve field change management with Digital Change & Form Tracking

Today’s shutdown & turnaround field is becoming increasingly digital. However, many companies still track progress and field changes in the old-fashioned way: they use paper forms, save the data in spreadsheets and standalone tools. This no longer leads to positive project outcomes or smart business decision making.

The Change & Form Tracking technology of Cleopatra accelerates your digital transformation and improves your turnaround cost control and cost estimation processes. 

The fully digital solution brings speedy and effortless accuracy to the field change management process, reducing the level of effort, making analysis and reporting easier, and enabling better forecasting.
