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
