What Safran Software Solutions does

Safran Software Solutions AS, headquartered in Stavanger, Norway and founded in 1997, is a private Norwegian software company and subsidiary of the JDM Technology Group that builds unified project management and quantitative risk analysis software for capital-intensive industries. The company's core products comprise four integrated solutions: Safran Risk (a Monte Carlo simulation engine for quantitative schedule and cost risk analysis, documented to run 97% faster than OPRA/Pertmaster and capable of 10,000+ iterations in under 10 minutes on megaproject-scale models), Safran Project (a comprehensive planning and control platform with built-in SQL database scheduling), Safran Planner (a lightweight scheduling tool), and Safran Risk Manager (a collaborative risk register). Differentiating technical capabilities include Joint Confidence Level (JCL) cost-schedule modeling, Sensitivity Analysis by Exclusion, weather modeling, a Glass Box audit-trail philosophy, probabilistic mitigation modeling with conditional logic, and interoperability with Oracle P6, Microsoft Project, and an Integration API. Companion Web Access and Companion Project Viewer extend the suite to cloud-based reporting.

The company operates a consultative enterprise field-sales motion with quote-based subscription licensing (both subscription and perpetual options) plus professional services delivered directly and through certified channel partners. Revenue streams are software licenses/subscriptions and professional services (consulting, support, training). Safran serves vertical-heavy-asset sectors including oil & gas, engineering & construction, aerospace & defense, utilities, manufacturing, public sector/government, renewables, and marine/shipbuilding. The customer base includes AECOM, Equinor, Aker BP, ABB, Heidelberg Materials, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), Meyer Turku, HENT, Cofely Fabricom, and Aquanti Consulting, among others, indicating significant penetration into named multinational enterprises across energy, infrastructure, and government. Operations span Stavanger (HQ), Oslo, London, and Houston, with ISO 9001 and carbon-neutral certifications.

Core offering

Safran Software Solutions develops and sells an integrated suite of enterprise project management and quantitative risk analysis software used to plan, schedule, and analyze complex capital projects. Its portfolio centers on Monte Carlo simulation-based cost and schedule risk analysis, supported by complementary scheduling, project control, and risk register tools, and is delivered with consulting, training, and partner-led professional services to heavy-asset industries.

Product overview

Safran Software Solutions provides a unified portfolio of four core project management and risk analysis products: Safran Project (comprehensive project management and planning), Safran Risk (Monte Carlo simulation for quantitative risk analysis), Safran Risk Manager (collaborative risk register management), and Safran Planner (lightweight scheduling tool). These products are designed to work in an integrated manner, enabling organizations to tackle complex capital projects from planning through execution. Safran Risk features embedded schedule modeling with native scheduling capabilities, eliminating the need for separate scheduling tools, while Safran Project includes a Schedule Risk Analysis module. The product suite also includes companion tools (Companion Web Access and Companion Project Viewer) and integrates with external tools including Oracle P6, Microsoft Project, and an Integration API.

Broad incumbents

• Oracle Primavera P6: Primavera P6 is the dominant enterprise scheduling tool and the most-imported source schedule for Safran's risk analyses. It is both a key integration partner and a broad-incumbent competitor with deeper platform scope.
• Microsoft Project: Microsoft Project is the default mainstream scheduling tool and a direct import format supported by Safran. While not a quantitative risk competitor, it competes at the lower end of the market Safran targets.

Direct peers

• Palisade @RISK: @RISK is a widely used Monte Carlo simulation add-in for project and enterprise risk analysis. It overlaps with Safran Risk on probabilistic risk modeling for cost and schedule, though it is more general-purpose.
• Lumivero (DecisionTools Suite): Lumivero (formerly @RISK / DecisionTools) provides quantitative risk-analysis and decision-tools software. Overlaps with Safran Risk on Monte Carlo simulation and project risk decision support.
• Deltek Acumen: Deltek Acumen is the most direct head-to-head competitor: a quantitative schedule risk analysis and project controls suite used on capital projects. Targets the same risk-manager and project-controls buyer as Safran Risk and is the primary alternative in enterprise RFPs.
• EcoSys (Hexagon): EcoSys, now part of Hexagon, is an enterprise project controls and portfolio management platform. It directly competes with Safran Project and Safran Planner on integrated scheduling, cost and portfolio controls for capital projects.
• InEight (project controls): InEight is a project controls platform for capital projects (schedule, cost, risk, field) used heavily in E&C and energy. Competes with Safran Project and Safran Risk on integrated planning and risk workflows for large capital programs.
• Oracle Primavera Risk Analysis (OPRA / Pertmaster): OPRA (formerly Pertmaster) is the legacy Monte Carlo schedule risk tool that Safran Risk directly benchmarks against (97% faster claim). Competes for the same quantitative risk-analysis seat on capital projects.

Emerging players

• RiskAMP: RiskAMP provides Monte Carlo simulation tools for project and financial risk analysis. It is a smaller, more accessible alternative that overlaps with Safran Risk on quantitative risk modeling, particularly for mid-market users.
• Planisware Orchestra: Planisware Orchestra is a PPM and project portfolio management suite used in AEC, defense and energy. It overlaps with Safran Project on portfolio planning and project controls, though it is positioned further upstream at the portfolio level.
