This document provides an overview of Oracle Primavera Gateway for integrating Oracle Primavera P6 with SAP ECC. It discusses the current integration options of Primavera Inspire for SAP and Primavera Gateway SAP Provider. While both options share common aspects like the SAP ABAP code base and implementation approach, the Gateway is highlighted as the best option for its faster performance, lowest total cost of ownership, and as a more forward-looking solution attracting more Oracle investment. The document also covers implementation considerations and potential pitfalls to avoid.
