The document discusses streamlining project status updates using Oracle Primavera. It describes how status is typically collected through emails, conversations and handwritten notes which requires scrubbing data, manual entry and is time consuming. Oracle Primavera allows status to be collected through a web interface, email or mobile devices, with options for requesting tasks, updating status, and receiving confirmation. It also has controls for project preferences, staging, reviewing and approving updates so project managers can spend more time on management activities rather than data entry.
