The Skire’s the Limit, or is it?
by Pat Serafino
If you missed it in the endless stream of Oracle acquisitions, in September 2012 Oracle acquired the assets of Skire.

Checking Your P6 Schedule and Formatting your import Resource File
by Marc Bobby
In the many Project Control Roles that I have performed over the years, one of the tasks that is always of substantial importance to the P6 Customer is managing the consistency of project data within an Enterprise Database. As most of you may have experienced, when a P6 environment lacks the guidance for maintaining project integrity across all projects in the EPS, the pristine data that was present when you first set up your environment becomes a faint image of times past. One of the easiest ways to manage these issues is found in P6…
