Gordian VFA Capital Planning vs Oracle Primavera Cloud

Gordian VFA Capital Planning helps facilities teams plan multi-year investment across real estate portfolios and connect spending decisions to organizational missions. It models funding and spending scenarios, scores and bundles projects, and generates capital plans and executive progress or benchmark reports. Forecasting tools let users examine long-term costs and how different spending levels may affect facility conditions. Its asset database tracks details such as location, type, condition, requirements, costs, projects, and plans; portfolio comparisons can use industry benchmarks including the Facility Condition Index. Users can customize fields and lists, then sort, group, or filter information by portfolio criteria. Supported cost sources include RSMeans Data, BCIS, BOMA, third-party providers, and proprietary estimates. The cloud-based software offers secure desktop and mobile-tablet access, while an iPad and Android assessment solution captures facility condition data.

Gordian says support requires a current maintenance contract, and it has no obligation to retain customer data after 30 days following subscription termination.
