Hello, my name is Ian Nicholson, VP of Solutions at Emerald Associates.
Oracle Primavera Risk Analysis (OPRA) has long been one of the industry’s most popular risk management tools.
I myself have relied on it for the best part of two decades. However, technology has come on leaps and bounds since the turn of the new millennium. It’s progressed to such an extent in fact that legacy systems like OPRA are, quite simply, no longer capable of meeting the needs of the modern project manager.
Hello, my name is Ian Nicholson, VP of Solutions at Emerald Associates.
Over the last two decades, I've worked extensively with Oracle Primavera Risk Analysis (OPRA) — or Pertmaster as it was known, before it was acquired by Primavera in 2006.
No project is without risk and learning how to manage it is vital to a project’s success. Effectively managing your project’s risk allows you to identify the potential impacts, both long and short term, while helping to futureproof and please shareholders. Most importantly, it means you remain in control.
Oracle Primavera Risk Analysis (OPRA) has been a staple of the project controls community for over 30 years — and for good reason. Nevertheless, we’re regularly contacted by project managers looking to switch from OPRA to Safran Risk.
Introduction to Safran Risk, the leading solution for integrated schedule and cost risk analysis.

In project intensive organizations, such as EMAS, work is fluid and dynamic – introducing a need for higher emphasis on readiness no matter the situation. Jamie Marzonie, a Senior Risk Specialist at EMAS AMC, discusses the importance of managing schedules and quantities of risk, and how Safran’s Integrated Risk Modeling can ensure projects are delivered on time and on budget.
All projects experience unexpected events that can impact their objectives in the form of loss or gain, and the extent of uncertainties and risks vary according to the size and complexity of projects. Uncertainty, however, is an abstract concept and many project managers lack the suitable tool to accurately define uncertainty for effective analysis.
