Ten Six did an excellent job tailoring this private the training session to our team’s abilities and needs. The training was very worthwhile and necessary for our team of Project Managers to make the move from P3 to Primavera P6. Ten Six’s comprehensive migration support made the whole process very efficient and smooth!
