Oracle: visit your construction tomorrow, today

How Oracle Construction & Engineering’s Innovation Lab is encouraging collaboration and providing the gateway to an ecosystem that can support the plan, build and operate life cycle. Oracle boasts 40,000+ employees across nine industry specific business units. The genesis for Construction & Engineering was the acquisition, over ten years ago, of Primavera, a strategy which has continued with the purchase of Aconex, Textura and Skire - $3bn of acquisitions inside one global business unit. We’ve focused on having expert DNA to help our customers, not only to solve today's problems, but also look to the future, pledges Andy Verone, Oracle Construction & Engineering’s Global Vice President for Industry Strategy & Innovation. It starts with a secured common data environment and ecosystem, explains Verone. We know we can't do everything for every customer, so our ecosystem supports the plan, build and operate life cycle - everything from capital planning, portfolios, risk-management and pre-construction to design coordination, job site mobility and payments.
