What does this mean?


This in no way changes any of the concepts and processes described in this book. The concepts of managing contracts remain the same regardless of which tool is used. As was said early on, PCM is simply a tool to be used to manage contracts in a centralized secure environment. The fact is that the look and feel of the tool delivered by Oracle Primavera does not change these concepts. Obviously, the screens will be different and some of the processes will change to match Unifier, but managing projects does not change just because the tool may be a bit different. While PCM was designed for the execution phase of a project, Unifier includes all the phases. This added functionality and the ability to manage all project phases will allow you to utilize one location for the management of a project before, during, and after the execution phase of the project. Primavera Unifier is simply the next major version of what we know as Contract Management with so much more.
