If your team is still emailing static PDFs of Primavera P6 schedules, opening sensitive XER files on shared drives, or managing a portfolio across disconnected spreadsheets — you’re working harder than you need to. Synami has spent over two decades solving exactly these problems. As ASDD Concept’s authorised partner for Qatar and the GCC, we break down the features that are making project professionals at Fortune 500 firms and infrastructure megaprojects switch — and stay switched.

Five Tools. One Ecosystem. Zero Gaps.

Synami’s portfolio is purpose-built for project environments where schedule data flows between owners, contractors, and subcontractors — and where protecting, visualising, and communicating that data is non-negotiable.

XER / XML Viewer

ScheduleReader

Open, filter, analyse and share Oracle® Primavera® P6® files — no P6 licence required. The leading XER viewer with 6M+ users.

Data Privacy

ScheduleCleaner

Remove or anonymise sensitive data in XER and XML files before sharing externally. Auditable, repeatable, compliance-ready.

MS Project Viewer

Seavus Project Viewer

Open and review Microsoft Project MPP files without owning an MS Project licence. 20+ years proven, Editors’ Pick Award winner.

PPM Core
Portfolio Management

Cloud-Based PPM

Centralise multi-project data, synchronise workflows, and track costs across your entire portfolio in one cloud dashboard.

iMindQ
Mind Mapping

Structured Planning

Mind mapping for engineering scope breakdowns, stakeholder workshops, and initiation planning before a line enters P6.

Replace Static PDFs with Interactive Schedule Insight

The problem: Your team uses Primavera P6 but clients and subcontractors don’t. Every update becomes a static PDF — outdated the moment it prints. ScheduleReader eliminates that bottleneck permanently.

  • ✓
    No Primavera licence needed. Any stakeholder opens XER and XML files directly — no Oracle licensing costs for viewers.
  • ✓
    Critical Path in Trace Logic View (v10.5, March 2026). Instantly visualise which activity chain drives your project end date without building custom filters.
  • ✓
    DCMA 14-Point Schedule Health Dashboard. The PRO version generates the industry-standard assessment as a one-page report — a compliance requirement on many government infrastructure contracts in Qatar and the GCC.
  • ✓
    Time-Location & Time-Chainage Charts. Essential for linear infrastructure projects (highways, pipelines, rail) — translate Primavera data into spatial progress visuals your site teams understand.
  • ✓
    Risk Module & Compare Projects. Identify schedule risk and compare baseline vs. current across revisions — added in versions 9.9 and 10.0.
  • ✓
    New Floating Licence Model (v10.5). Share a pool of licences across a team rather than tying them to individual machines — ideal for rotating site workforces.
  • ✓
    Mac + Windows. Full cross-platform support — mixed-device project offices are no longer a barrier to schedule sharing.

Share Schedules Without Sharing Secrets

The problem: XER files carry resource rates, employee IDs, and cost accounts you cannot expose externally. ScheduleCleaner strips that data in minutes — not hours — with a repeatable, auditable process.

  • ✓
    Bulk remove or anonymise sensitive fields. Strip cost rates, resource data, employee IDs, or any custom field before external distribution — without touching schedule logic.
  • ✓
    Export Templates for team-wide consistency. Save your cleaning configuration as a shareable file — every team member applies exactly the same rules, every time.
  • ✓
    GDPR and data governance ready. For international projects where named resources must comply with data protection law, ScheduleCleaner provides a documented, repeatable compliance process.
  • ✓
    XER and XML format support. Covers both Oracle Primavera P6 and Microsoft Project export formats — the two dominant schedule file types in the GCC market.

Synami vs. The Old Way

How the Synami suite stacks up against the workarounds most project teams still rely on:

PPM Core — One Dashboard for Your Entire Portfolio

The problem: Managing five projects means five P6 databases and five reporting silos. PPM Core unifies them — with cost tracking, universal viewing, and real-time cloud collaboration built in.

  • ✓
    Universal Project Viewer. View data from multiple sources in a single cloud interface — giving leadership real-time portfolio visibility without direct P6 access.
  • ✓
    Cost Management module. The latest PPM Core update adds cost tracking alongside schedule data — closing the gap between project controls and commercial management.
  • ✓
    Cloud-based, zero server overhead. Teams across sites, offices, and borders access the same live data simultaneously — no IT infrastructure to manage.
  • ✓
    Workflow synchronisation. Standardise reporting cadences and approval chains across projects — eliminating the coordination overhead that consumes a project manager’s week.

Seavus Project Viewer & iMindQ — Closing Every Remaining Gap

Two tools that address the friction points everyone works around but nobody has properly solved — from initial scope planning to mixed-tool project environments.

  • ✓
    Seavus Project Viewer — 20 years of MS Project compatibility. Open any MPP file, review task dependencies, resources, and baselines without a Microsoft Project licence. Editors’ Pick Award winner, trusted across Fortune 500 programme offices.
  • ✓
    iMindQ — structured thinking from day one. Mind map your project scope, ownership, and risks during initiation — before a single activity enters P6. Exports to project-ready formats for immediate use.
“ScheduleReader is the bridge that seamlessly connects human plans with digital realities, where each line of code weaves the tapestry of informed decision-making.” — Ljubisha Mladenovski, Product Line Owner, Synami
✦ Case Study · Infrastructure Programme, GCC

How a Major Construction Programme Transformed Schedule Communication

A leading infrastructure contractor managing multiple simultaneous packages faced a recurring challenge: weekly schedule updates required manual PDF generation, distribution to 40+ stakeholders, and constant follow-up. Sensitive commercial data in XER files was regularly over-shared with subcontractors.

After deploying ScheduleReader for stakeholder access, ScheduleCleaner for pre-distribution data scrubbing, and PPM Core for portfolio-level oversight, the programme reported measurable improvement across every dimension of project communication.
