甲骨文本周三宣布，该公司计划收购Primavera软件公司，在企业应用软件包中增添项目管理软件。
甲骨文将在该公司的企业应用软件和基础架构软件中整合Primavera的项目组合管理（PPM）软件。项目组合管理软件能够帮助企业规划、管理和控制复杂项目。预计这一交易将于今年年底前完成。
甲骨文总裁查尔斯·菲利浦斯（Charles Phillips）在一份声明中说，企业项目组合管理已经成为业务战略中最重要的部分，成为了创造价值和企业成功的引擎。
Primavera并非是唯一一家项目管理软件厂商。微软7年前就公布了推出项目管理软件、进军该市场的计划。
甲骨文表示，这一交易完成后，该公司将向工程、建筑、宇航、国防、公用事业、油气、制造和专业服务行业的客户销售项目组合管理软件包。
