XER Reader launches an easy-to-use tool to open and view Primavera P6 XER files without needing expensive software.
Automatikvej 1, 2860 Søborg, Denmark – [13/05/2025] – In a major stride toward simplifying complex project management data, XER Reader is proud to announce the launch of its innovative XER File Viewer, a powerful, user-friendly tool designed to make Primavera P6 schedule files accessible to everyone—from project managers and planners to contractors and consultants.
With this cutting-edge solution, XER Reader is redefining how organizations interact with Oracle Primavera P6 files (.xer format), making it easier than ever to review, analyze, and share critical project data without needing expensive or complicated software.
Project management professionals across industries—construction, energy, manufacturing, and infrastructure—rely heavily on Primavera P6 to manage large-scale, time-sensitive projects. However, accessing and understanding XER files often requires the licensed P6 software, which is not always available to all stakeholders.
Recognizing this challenge, XER Reader developed the XER File Viewer to empower users with a simpler, cost-effective alternative. Now, anyone with an .xer file can instantly open and read it—no Primavera installation required.
“Our mission has always been to simplify project management data for everyone involved in a project—not just planners and schedulers, but also engineers, procurement teams, and clients,” said the Product Manager at XER Reader, based in Søborg, Denmark. “With the XER File Viewer, we’re making schedule transparency easier and collaboration smoother.”
The new tool by XER Reader is packed with features designed to offer a seamless and insightful viewing experience:
Instant XER File Access: Open and view .xer files in seconds without any need for Primavera P6.
Interactive Gantt Chart: Visualize project schedules with an intuitive Gantt chart that supports zoom, filter, and timeline features.
WBS and Activity Breakdown: Easily navigate Work Breakdown Structures and individual activities with details like durations, relationships, and constraints.
Resource Assignments: View assigned resources, roles, and units across all project tasks.
Relationship Mapping: Clearly see predecessor and successor activities with logical relationship details.
Custom Filters and Views: Sort and filter data based on dates, WBS, activity codes, and more for focused analysis.
Export Options: Share project insights with team members by exporting to Excel or PDF formats.
Cloud-Based and Secure: Access the XER File Viewer from any browser with data security built-in.
The tool is perfect for project professionals who frequently receive XER files but do not have Primavera installed. It’s also ideal for training institutions, students, and auditors who want to study real-world schedules without costly software investments.
Project delays and cost overruns are often caused by miscommunication or lack of access to critical information. By giving more team members access to clear and structured project data, the XER File Viewer enhances collaboration and accountability. Everyone involved—from contractors and sub-contractors to project owners—can now be on the same page.
“Before XER Reader, our clients had to rely on screenshots or wait for reports from the planning team. Now, they can see the actual plan, track progress, and ask meaningful questions,” shared a senior project coordinator from a leading European construction firm.
Headquartered at Automatikvej 1, 2860 Søborg, Denmark, XER Reader understands the growing need for global project collaboration. Many project stakeholders today work remotely, across time zones and departments. That’s why the XER File Viewer is built to be cloud-first, mobile-responsive, and browser-compatible.
No software installation. No learning curve. Just upload the XER file and begin exploring.
The XER File Viewer supports all standard Primavera P6 .xer formats and can open files created with older as well as newer versions of P6.
Users can try the tool for free with limited access or subscribe to premium features for advanced reporting, larger file sizes, and team collaboration tools. Volume licensing and enterprise options are also available.
