Project Management Institute (PMI) and Oracle Construction and Engineering have announced a collaboration that will allow them to pool their respective capabilities to deliver thought leadership, best practices, and tools created exclusively for professionals in the construction and asset-intensive sectors.

Global Director of Construction and Vice President, Asia Pacific at PMI, Ben Breen, said: “Oracle Construction and Engineering and PMI have a common goal: help transform the construction industry by delivering best-in-class resources to help professionals and organisations plan and build critical assets.

“With our complementary areas of expertise, this collaboration means we will be able to provide professionals in the construction sector with the training and digital tools they need to successfully deliver more impactful and efficient project outcomes.”

Senior Vice President and General Manager of Oracle Construction and Engineering, Mark Webster, said: “True progress in the construction industry lies not only in groundbreaking technologies but also in forging meaningful collaborations. Together with PMI, we will provide the educational resources, best practices, and digital tools owners and contractors need to help increase organisational efficiency and improve how projects are delivered.”

The non-binding memorandum of understanding (MOU) executed between Oracle and PMI is intended to begin with the integration of Oracle resources into the existing coursework for the Construction Professional in Built Environment Projects (PMI-CP), a capstone certification which leverages best practices from the construction industry, construction industry organisations, and construction industry experts across the world.
