This document discusses the differences between P6 Professional and P6 EPPM functionality in Oracle Primavera P6 version 8.2. Key functionality such as import/export files and manual resource curve editing are only available in P6 Professional. Dashboards, portfolio views, and issues tracking are only in the web-based P6 EPPM. The hosted demonstration provides examples of useful web functionality like the team member mobile app.

6. Overview of P6 EPPM and Professional 8.2
P6 EPPM 8.2 was released the end of December 2011.
With 8.2, Oracle has added some new update functionality in the web and P6 Pro
returns to a single Windows environment for both the standalone P6 Pro and the
“P6 Windows client”.
This new configuration resolves issues many schedulers have with “delegating”
update inputs.
8.2 also improves the deployment of 8.2 (web).
8.2 also supports running P6 Pro off-line
