“CDP took the time to explain the terminology and technical solution they proposed so I could work effectively with my IT department and make good decisions.  Their communication was open and transparent, and their experience in working with large corporate infrastructure helped them quickly understand our operations.”

Barrett Paving is a heavy highway construction company with a vertically integrated value chain, which includes: quarries, sand and gravel operations, asphalt cement storage terminals, asphalt manufacturing facilities, asphalt paving, complete infrastructure services, and resurfacing and pavement preservation materials and services. 

Business Challenges

Barrett Paving needed a collaborative way of sharing schedule information through their entire vertical value chain, and deployment and training had to take place quickly to take advantage of an off-season.

Oracle Primavera P6 Software and Cloud Hosting

Solution

CDP presented a hosted Oracle Primavera P6 Software platform to Barrett Paving, where CDP would implement and launch the P6 application in its cloud hosting platform for nine months and then transition it to Barrett Paving’s own IT environment.

CDP’s cloud hosting solution allowed Barrett Paving to move forward with the project, implement P6, and conduct training during the off-season winter months.  The cloud environment brought the ability to leverage the calendar, and help Barrett Paving implement and experience the business benefits of P6 months earlier than expected.

A Construction Manager with Barrett Paving shares their experience with CDP’s cloud environment: “The cloud environment worked well for us. We had no issues with speed, whether in the office or working remotely.”
