What does Unifier do for you?


Skire Unifier has been a competitor of PCM for many years. There were many things that Unifier did that PCM could not do and was hard to sell against if you looked at features alone. When PCM won the bid, it was typically because of the ease of use and user friendliness. We are still not exactly sure what the Primavera Unifier tool will look like out of the box, but it is this author's understanding that it will have at least the functionality of the current PCM. The PCM community hopes for more. There are many features that Unifier provides that PCM has not had. Here are a few:

  • Full project lifecycle management

    • Capital project and program management

    • Facilities management

    • Real estate management

    • Integrated workplace management

  • Capital planning at the enterprise

  • True funding and budgeting

  • Cash flow management

  • Internal workflow engine

  • Much more configurable interface

  • More robust Cost Worksheet

  • Good e-mail integration

  • Mobile capabilities
