P6-Visio Loader

Solution Summary

Emerald's P6-Visio Loader is a diagram reporting tool that takes the time, pain, and frustration out of creating summary schedules for management.

Solution Profile

Many companies use schematics created in Microsoft Visio® to represent work processes within a project in an easily understood graphical summary. Although these graphical summaries are extremely useful, creating these diagrams as well as updating them is labour-intensive and time consuming.

Emerald developed the P6-Visio Loader to use P6 data as the data source and automatically create a "ball and stick" diagram generated in Microsoft Visio®. The tool takes the latest schedule data from P6 and groups related activities at a more optimized level than can be displayed in a Gantt chart. This allows large schedules to be viewed on a single page print-out that still displays all the activity date ranges and relationship logic. The P6-Visio Loader also has the option to summarize activities at the level used to group activities, which can be useful for displaying a very high-level diagram of large schedules.

By using Emerald's P6-Visio Loader, our clients are able to automate the labor-intensive process of graphical summary reporting. With this tool you can:

Avoid work duplication and improve accuracy
Create graphical reports and update them quickly and easily
Review process flow and project scope with ease

Easy, Flexible, and Secure
