“Start” your unifier journey with HPS

Most organisations considering Oracle Primavera Unifier face the same hurdle: implementation cost and complexity. A fully bespoke deployment can take months to configure and easily blow past the original budget.

Oracle provides a base configuration for Primavera Unifier called Unifier Accelerator: more than 125 pre‑configured guided business processes and over 250 reports and dashboards, built on over 25 years of capital project and asset management implementation experience and trusted industry standards. HPS takes that base and configures it to match your specific workflows, cost structures, integrations, and reporting requirements, and we train your team so they can own the solution going forward, all for under USD 60,000 (approximately GBP 50,000).

What’s included in the Accelerator service

Unifier Accelerator covers three core functional areas and follows a four‑phase delivery approach.

Functional coverage

  • Cost management and reporting
    • Budgets, commitments, actuals, and forecasts configured to your chart of accounts and cost breakdown structure.
    • Pre‑configured Unifier cost and cash‑flow processes with portfolio‑, programme‑ and project‑level reporting, leveraging the Unifier Accelerator library of reports and dashboards and extending it where needed.
    • Connected cost, change, and schedule milestones so approved changes and progress updates automatically feed the cost sheet and cash‑flow curves.
  • Contracts, procurement, and change management
    • Contract, purchase order, and payment processes built on Oracle’s best‑practice contract and procurement business processes in Unifier Accelerator.
    • Change management workflows where approved variations automatically update the schedule of values, project cost sheet, and cash‑flow projections.
    • Optional configuration of integrations to ERP, EAM, and other systems using Unifier’s REST APIs and Oracle Integration Services for Unifier.
  • Collaboration and document control
    • Structured correspondence including RFIs, submittals, transmittals, meeting minutes, and other project records using Unifier’s form‑based workflows and unlimited document storage.
    • Review and approval workflows with full audit trails, supported by Unifier’s rules engine and native mobile applications for field‑based users.

Example: A change order is approved in Unifier, which immediately updates the related PO in your ERP system via Oracle Integration Services and adjusts the project cost sheet and cash‑flow curve – without relying on overnight batch jobs.

Implementation phases

The service follows four phases designed to build internal capability as the system is configured.

  1. Enablement
    • Pre‑project training on Unifier concepts, base Accelerator processes, and key design decisions so your team arrives at workshops prepared.
    • Identification of your priority projects, cost structures, and integrations for the initial rollout.
  2. Design
    • Strategic and detailed design that maps your existing processes to Unifier Accelerator business processes, forms, and workflows.
    • Focus on standardising where possible and extending only where it materially improves control, reporting, or adoption.
  3. Delivery
    • Configuration of Unifier Accelerator processes using Unifier’s no‑code uDesigner tools and low‑code Oracle Integration Services where required.
    • Iterative show‑and‑tell sessions rather than a single “big bang” handover, so stakeholders can see and refine the solution as it takes shape.
  4. Test and Train
    • Collaborative testing using your real scenarios, data sets, and reports to validate end‑to‑end workflows across cost, contracts, and collaboration.
    • Targeted core‑team and end‑user training, plus knowledge transfer so your team can carry out post‑go‑live changes confidently using Unifier’s configuration tools.

Who should consider HPS’s Unifier Accelerator?

  • Organisations adopting Unifier for the first time
    • Ideal if you currently manage cost, contracts, and documentation with spreadsheets, email, and disconnected point solutions.
    • The Accelerator gives you a structured, best‑practice path to a single project controls and asset management platform, without a long custom build.
  • Teams with a defined scope and timeline
    • Best suited when your primary requirements are cost management, contracts and procurement, and project collaboration / document control.
    • Within that scope, you can be live in weeks rather than months; extensive customisation beyond these areas may require a broader Unifier engagement.
  • Budget‑conscious deployments
    • Fixed‑price implementation under USD 60,000 (approx. GBP 50,000), making Unifier accessible to mid‑market organisations and to individual divisions within large enterprises.
    • You get an enterprise‑grade, Oracle‑supported solution on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure without committing to a multi‑year custom programme.
  • Organisations that want their team involved
    • The four‑phase approach is designed to build internal capability so you are not dependent on external developers for every change.
    • Using Unifier’s no‑code tools, your trained administrators can evolve workflows, forms, and dashboards as your processes mature.

FAQs

What does Oracle Primavera Unifier do?

Oracle Primavera Unifier is a cloud‑based platform for capital project controls and asset / facilities management. It standardises and automates capital planning, cost and contract management, change control, document management, field management, and ongoing maintenance across the full lifecycle from project initiation through operations. Unifier is available in 12 languages, supports 183 currencies, and offers more than 150 proven integrations with ERP, EAM, and supply‑chain solutions over open RESTful APIs.

What is Unifier Accelerator?

Unifier Accelerator is Oracle’s pre‑configured base configuration for Primavera Unifier, with over 125 guided business processes and more than 250 reports and dashboards, built on 25 years of implementation experience and industry standards. It is designed to give owners a fast‑start implementation while retaining the flexibility to modify and extend processes, reports, and integrations.

What is the difference between Primavera Unifier and Oracle Primavera Cloud (OPC)?

Primavera Unifier focuses on cost, contracts, change, document control, facilities, and maintenance, providing a unified data model for project and asset controls. Oracle Primavera Cloud focuses on schedule, resource planning, risk, and portfolio‑level collaboration. Many organisations use both together, integrating cost codes and milestones so Unifier’s cost and contract information aligns with OPC project schedules and portfolio views.

How long does an HPS Unifier Accelerator implementation take?

Duration depends on scope, data complexity, and stakeholder availability. Using Unifier Accelerator, Oracle cites implementations “in as little as a few weeks” for focused, best‑practice deployments. For more complex environments with significant process extensions or integrations, the timeline may extend to a few months.

Can I customise the Accelerator configuration after go‑live?

Yes. Unifier includes powerful no‑code and low‑code configuration tools (uDesigner and Oracle Integration Services for Unifier), enabling you to add or modify business processes, forms, workflows, reports, and dashboards over time. HPS can support these changes, or your trained internal team can manage them directly.

Do my team members need training before the implementation starts?

No. HPS’s Enablement phase at the start of the project provides pre‑project training and preparation so your team can contribute effectively to design. Their competence grows throughout workshops and testing, with targeted training throughout the implementation.

Is the Unifier Accelerator only for new Unifier customers?

Unifier Accelerator is primarily positioned for new deployments that want a fast‑track, best‑practice configuration. If you already have Primavera Unifier in place, HPS can assess your current environment and apply relevant Accelerator elements, configuration improvements, or integration enhancements as part of a tailored optimisation engagement.

What about integrations with ERP, EAM, or scheduling tools?

Primavera Unifier includes open RESTful APIs and is supported by Oracle Integration Services for Unifier, which provides more than 100 prebuilt adapters to common ERP, EAM, collaboration, and Primavera scheduling systems. HPS can scope and implement integrations as part of or following the Accelerator deployment, depending on your priorities.
